EMBRYOLOGY 



The Cysticercus may remain for a longer or a shorter time 

 in the condition described, but may increase meantime in

 process of the hydatid {Cysticercus pisiformis) of T. saginata : C, before the funda- 

 ments of the suckers and hooks have made their appearance, D, with fundaments 

 of the hooks and suckers, E, in the partially evaginated condition ; F, fully evagi- 

 nated cephalic process with attached vesicle of T. solium ; G, scolex of T. sen-rota 

 with the remains of the vesicle, which has fallen away ; H, young- tapeworm (T. 

 serratn), which has only just left the scolex stage, and in which there are therefore 

 only a few segments. 



vertebrated animals, especially in Crustacea {e.g. Gammarus and Cyclops), 

 are very noteworthy ; their relationships, however, are not yet sufficiently 

 understood. The caudal appendage, which sometimes attains a very 

 considerable length, carries about with it the remains of the embryonal 

 envelopes. This stage in the development of the Cestodes thereby 

 acquires to a certain extent the appearance of a Cercaria. Such tail- 

 bearing Cysticerci, which belong especially to the genus Taenia, have 

 been repeatedly discovered in recent years, and carefully studied by 

 Hamann, Mrazek, and Grassi e Kovelli (see Appendix to lAterature on 

 Gestoda).— K.]
