glance ; for instance, on many occasions has he seen in the 

 ovaries (!) of Tcenia solium and serrata the living young, as 

 vermiculi $h to ^th of a line in length, with delicately 

 annulate bodies and a pointed process at the head. Four- 

 teen days has he kept these microscopic Teenies alive in 

 Clean water, upon which, after having allowed them to dry 

 up, they were brought to life again by means of warm 

 water, and transplanted by being given in drink to a Goat 

 and a Cat. Klencke also found these young Tapeworms, 

 in springs and pits and advises those who may wish to pro- 

 cure these embryo Ttenise from open waters, to choose the 

 mild winter season for that purpose ; the large individuals 

 he would immediately recognise from their resemblance to 

 Rattlesnakes. 



HELMINTHES CYSTICI. 



The Sea-fish taken on the coast of Ireland have afforded 

 seven species of Anthocephalus. Bellingham (Annals Nat. 

 Hist, xiv, 1844, p. 396) for instance, has discovered, besides 

 Anthoceph. elongatus and granulum (in the abdominal cavity 

 of Gadus luscus), four other undetermined encysted species 

 within the abdominal cavity of Merluccius vulgaris, Trigla 

 gurnardus, and pini, Hippoglossus vulgaris, Gadus segle- 

 finus, Merlangus pollachius, and carbonarius, as well as of 

 Anguilla conger. A new species found by Drummond in 

 the peritoneum of Pleuronectes maximus, has been named 

 by him Anthocephalus paradoxus. Besides Cysticercusfascio- 

 laris, . tenuicottis, cellulose, and pisiformis, Bellingham has 

 enumerated as Irish Entozoa also another Cysticercus, which 

 he met with, encysted, in the abdomen of Cobitis barbatula. 

 The cysts, which were about the size of a pin's head, were 

 appended by short pedicles to the liver and intestine, and 

 contained a short-necked Cyst-worm, the head of which was 

 furnished with a cylindrical and unarmed rostellum.
