Dr John Murray was good enough to send me numerous specimens of Pseudalius alatus , obtained in the summer of 1888 by Mr Robert Gray, on the coast of Greenland, from Monodon monoceros . This Nematode has been only once described—by Leuckart, but that at a time when the methods of investigation were still imperfect. My results are thus essentially different from his. Leuckart called the species Strongylus alatus , and noted as its habitat the cranial cavity of Monodon monoceros .
