hood. Besides containing many very small scolices of Cysti- 

 cercus pisiformis just developing, there were a number of short, 

 pale-yellow lines crossing each other in all directions, which, upon 

 microscopical inspection, did no| seem to be sharply defined, and 

 appeared to consist of a granular substance. I suspect that this 

 substance was the product of an exudative process, occasioned 

 by the creeping about of the immigrated Ttenia -embryos in the 

 substance of the liver probably it would be gradually reabsorbed 

 when, in course of their development and metamorphosis, these 

 embryos had become converted into the dropsical receptacles of 

 Cysticercus pisiformis.
