Abstract

Among helminths taken from four northern flying squirrels (Glaucomys sabrinus macrotis Mearns) were two cestodes belonging to the genus Andrya. These represent an undescribed species. The infected flying squirrels were collected in or near tamarack bogs during February, 1947, near Millston, Jackson County, Wisconsin.
