Page 110 - Wilcox found the parasites in four out of six birds examined. In the present specimen of a head a single worm is enclosed between the two laminae of the dura mater over the position of the interval of the cerebrum and cerebellum. As the parasite appears not to have been named, it was suggested that the name of its discoverer should be associated with it under the name Filaria wymani.
