FIG. 4. Posterior segments of adult strobile, from alcoholic specimen, X 10. The

FIG. 7. Longitudinal section through ripe segments; a, fascicles of longitudinal 

 muscles; b, b, partitions separating adjacent segments; c, ova filling 

 the interior of the segments ; d, shred of connective tissue; other sitnilai
