Extract

From 1931 to the middle of 1936 we occasionally examined the gut contents of the centipede Cormocephalus dentipes, procured from Calcutta and its suburbs. In the intestine we have often found a coccidium belonging to the genus Adelina. Species of Adelina are on record from arthropod and annelid hosts; but since Schellack (1913) described in detail the life history of A. dimidiata from Scolopendra cingulata, no account of any other species from a myriapod has been given.
