The material upon which this study is based was obtained from G. E. MacGinitie, of the California Institute of Technology. These trematodes were collected from sting rays on July 20, 1927, taken in Elkhorn Slough,
a salt water estuary of Monterey Bay. The worms, both as alcoholic specimens and as balsam mounts, were referred to me in August, 1934. An examination of the material revealed two distinct genera of ectoparasitic trematodes belonging to rather widely separated families, Tristomidae Taschenberg (1879)
and Udonellidae Van Beneden and Hesse (1863). The writer wishes to make
grateful acknowledgement to Mr. MacGinitie for the privilege of examining and describing this material.
