Photomicrographs of several morphologic features of hookworms (Uncinaria spp) from northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus) and California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) pups are presented. The main purpose is to show and describe some physical characteristics of hookworms from the two hosts; it is not to decide from these attributes whether the Uncinaria spp are the same species. The number of species of Uncinaria in pinnipeds is uncertain and specimens need to be examined from the various infected seals and sea lions before the taxonomy of these parasites can be clarified. Information in the present paper should aid in this determination.
本文展示了来自北海狗（Callorhinus ursinus）和加州海狮（Zalophus californianus）幼崽的钩虫（Uncinaria spp）几种形态特征的显微照片。主要目的是展示和描述来自这两种宿主的钩虫的一些物理特征；并非要根据这些特征来判定Uncinaria spp是否为同一物种。鳍足类动物中Uncinaria属的物种数量尚不确定，在明确这些寄生虫的分类学之前，需要对各种受感染的海豹和海狮的标本进行检查。本文中的信息应有助于这一判定。
