Abstract
1. An examination of the cuticle ofOxyuris equihas revealed the presence of previously unidentified structures. The layers of the cuticle of this nematode have been renamed. 2. The cuticle ofStrongylus equinushas been examined in a similar fashion and, whilst the basic nomenclature of the various layers has been retained, previous descriptions of the individual layers have been modified and extended. 3. Further evidence is put forward in favour of the presence of pore canals in the cuticle ofAscaris lumbricoides.
