Of these 100 wieses the life-history of four only is definitely 
known, viz. 
Tenia solium, Rud. 
Tenia saginaia, Goeze. 
Dipylidium caninum, L. 
Tetrarhynchus unionifactor, Shipley and Hornell (the pearl- 
inducing worm).* 
Through the kindness of Drs. Castellani and Chalmers I have 
had the opportunity of examining some parasites from the patho- 
logical laboratory of the Ceylon Medical College. The collection 
contained the following :— 
(a) Two fragmented specimens of Tenia solium, Rud., from 
man. Heads and a considerable portion of the ‘“‘ anterior ” end of 
the worms absent. 
(b) Four specimens of J'enia serrata (?), Goeze, from dog. All 
without heads. 
(c) Eight specimens of Cysticercus cellulose, Rud. (= Cysticercus 
acanthotrias, Wienl.) from man (described by Chalmers in Spolia 
Zeylanica, Vol. II., Part VIII., 1905). 
(2) One part specimen without head of Tenia saginata, Goeze, 
from man. Only about the terminal half of the worm was obtained, 
and this comprised 170 proglottides and measured 250 cms. (over 
8 feet). Each segment was approximately 12 mm. broad and 
from 18 mm. to 19 mm. long. The worm was markedly gelatinous 
in consistency , gelesen and. pulley white in the fresh state. 


* In addition to the foregoing, numerous Cysticercoids have been obtained 
from, marine fishes, the adults of which are undetermined,
