The collecting method of the helminths - obtained by dissection of the guts conserved in alcohol - caused many subsequent difficulties. A part of the flukes were fixed in a contracted state, the greatest part of them was hardly coloured, and many specimens were impossible to clean of the gut contents without damage . Therefore the measurements of the body, the appreciation of the topography of the organs, and the determination in part of the material remain uncertain. The post-fixation was obtained in Bouin

. The investigations of the Indian fluke fauna parasitizing bats was launched by PANDE (1935a, b, c) and followed by BHALERAO (1936) and GUPTA et BHARDWAJ (1958). In the neighbouring countries GROSCHAPT et TENORA, 1971 (Afghanistan) and BHALERAO, 1926a,b (Burma) carried out bat helminthological investigations. These papers submitted a meagre material of occasional collectings, therefore the treatment of Gy. TOPÁL'

s material originating from wide-ranging collectings was useful in every respect, despite the bad condition of the trematodes.
