Resumo

During August and September 1909 I had an opportunity, thanks to the Government Grant Committee of the Royal Society, of making a fairly comprehensive examination of the parasites of fishes from the English Channel at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Plymouth. During that time nearly five hundred fishes, belonging to about 80 species, were dealt with and a very extensive collection of parasites made. A considerable number of species were obtained many of which are new to British waters but the number of absolutely new species amounted to very few. Of these I am describing here four of the most noteworthy, three of which appear to be of new generic type. A complete account of the investigations will be published later.
