420 Mr. H. A. Baylis on a remarkable 
simply an extraordinarily elongated “neck,” precociously 
developed within the bladder of the cysticercus. The coils of 
this tube run in various directions (figs. 1 & 2, 1V.), but in 
the main antero-posteriorly. After fixation of the worm it 
is impossible to straighten out this neck for the purpose of 
measuring it; but Moniez calculated that in one moderate- 
sized specimen examined by him it measured 65 centimetres, 
and the length was probably greater still in larger specimens. 
It must, at all events, be many inches in length. 
“ Cysticercus Tenie Grimaldi.” The scolex, as seen by transparency 
within the swollen blind end of the “ neck.” 
B., bothridium; P., terminal papilla; S., accessory sucker. 
The structure of the scolex (fig. 2, S., & fig. 3) is espe- 
cially important. Moniez dismisses it with the statement 
that it is provided with four suckers and destitute of hooks. 
In reality, however, its suckers deserve special attention. 
They are, strictly, ‘“‘bothridia”’ of the type seen in certain 
Cestodes of the family Phyllobothriidee—. e., they have the 
form of elongated flaps (fig. 3, B.) attached to the scolex at 
their anterior ends and hanging freely posteriorly. Their 
edges are slightly curled inwards at the sides and behind,’
