Abstract: Little has been recorded of the parasites of waterfowl, wild or domesticated in New Zealand (Rind 1974). The nematodes of New Zealand waterfowl appear quite unknown. Recently Mrs Rind gave me part of the anterior alimentary canal of a grey duck (Anas superciliosa) that had been shot a few days earlier (November 8, 1976) at Omihi, North Canterbury. She drew my attention to a nodule in the proventriculus wall about 2 cm anterior to the gizzard. When opened, this fibrous granuloma was found to contain six male and 12 female nematodes each about 1-1.5 cm long.
