XXII. MNA upon the Struélure and Aes of thofe Inteftinak 
Worms called Tenie.. By Mr. Anthony Carlifle, F. L. S. 
Read des 6, 1792. 
*H E following obfervations are offered to the Linnean ~ 
Society, as an attempt to explain the mechanifm and sé 
fiolovy of a very fimply-conftruéted animal. 
How far fuch ini will afhft in eftablifhing that ar- 
'angement of Nature's works which Linnæus has planned, or 
how far thofe enquiries y aM i in fixing doubtful. connections, - 
this Society are beft able to determine *. 
- The habits and manners of Zane are little known, becaufe they 
live in fituations where they cannot be obferved, and therefore 
only become the fubjeéts of examination when they are removed 
out of their natural fituations, or after the death of the animal in. 
whofe body they have lived. £ 
The Tenia, as well as many other worms that inhabit the bodies 
of living animals, appear deftined to feed upon the juices.of thofe 
animals. which are already animalized; they are confequently 
found in the alimentary canal, and ufually at the upper part of it; 
* I cannot-omit publicly acknowledging my great obligations to Mr. Watfon, Mr. 
Hunter, and. Dr. Baillie, for their liberality and friendthip in permitting me to examine 
and make drawings from the worms in their refpective collections.
