| Abstract |
During laboratory breeding experiments with the New Zealand mud oyster, Ostrea lutaria Hutton, sectioned material showed specimens with gonads containing sporocysts of a digenetic trematode parasite. The sporocysts were tubular and branched as in the family Bucephalidae, and contained rediæ, but as cercariæ were not found the trematode has not yet been identified. |
