Abstract
IN NATURE of November 25, p. 701, Dr. Monica Taylor mentions that the distribution of Limnæa truncatula in S.W. Scotland is very local, being rare or altogether absent from certain districts in which sheep are known to be infected with liver flukes. In such districts L. peregra is found infected with perfectly developed cercariæ of Fasciola hepatica. Free active cercariæ of the latter are also found.
