behind, evidently having already discharged the eggs 

 from the anterior part of the joint ; while, generally, 

 proglottides deposit their eggs only after they are free. 

 In other specimens, these last joints, being yet quite 

 full of eggs, are more oblong, even with the transverse 

 diameter longer than the longitudinal. In either case, 

 the proglottides are very loosely connected with each 

 other. 



" In relation to the genital organs, we have men- 

 tioned above the yellowish spot lying near the mid- 

 dle line in the anterior part of each joint, and it is for 

 this that we have called the species ' flavopunctata.' 

 These spots are the testicles, appearing under the 

 microscope as a globular gland, with another smaller 

 one attached to it ; this latter one runs out towards 

 the side of the joint, into a longitudinal canal, in 

 which lies the penis. 



" The genital openings are situated all on one and 

 the same side of the worm, while, in all true Taeniae 

 known thus far, they are found irregularly, now on 

 one, now on the other side. 



" The configuration of the uterus, also, differs greatly 

 from that in the genuine Taeniae. There is no main 

 stem in the midst, with lateral branches, as in the lat 

 ter ; but, on the contrary, the eggs are crowded over 

 the whole joint. It sometimes appears as if they 

 were arranged in straight lines along the joint ; but 

 this is certainly owing only to regular lines of mus- 

 cular contractions. Only fresh specimens can decide 

 ultimately the structures of the uterus. From a care- 

 ful dissection of the younger joints, we should judge
