 are situated on the dorsal and two on the ventral surface. 

 They are of an oval shape, having a diameter of ahout 

 03 mm. autero-postcriorly and of 0'2 mm. transversely. 

 The apertures of the suckers arc in the form of lonjijitudinal 

 slits. The scolex is followed by a narrower unscgmcnted 

 "neck," uhich may attain a length of G or 7 mm. There 

 may or may not be a constriction immediately behind the 

 scolex. In a complete strobila some 490 segments can be 

 counted. All the segments are broader than long. The

The subcuticular layer of the body-wall contains large 

 numbers of elongated gland-cells, staining deeply with 

 huimatoxyliu. The cortical parcnchyme is thick, measuring
