382 ANIMAL PARASITES. 



Bremser also indicates the two booklets, as the pair of prominent 

 penes, and consequently what Trentter calls the anterior part 

 of the body, as the abdominal extremity, and the specimens 

 found as males. Diesing has adopted this latter idea, and has 

 also placed the worm, found in 1845, by the army-surgeon 

 Jortsits, in Klausenberg, in Licbcnburgen, in the substance of 

 the lungs of a boy of six years old, living partly free in the lung 

 and partly adherent to the substance of the lung, along with 

 Treutter's Hamularia subcompressa. We accede to this opinion 

 the more willingly, as the occurrence of Treutter's worm in the 

 bronchial glands, which was doubted by Rudolphi, can furnish 

 no reasons for separating these two Entozoa, as it is proved that 

 StrongyU not only dwell willingly in open cavities (bronchi, in- 

 testines), but also in neighbouring glands {glandules meseraica 

 et bronchiales). The young worms also, found by me in the lung 

 of a sheep, which lived in tuberculous uodules and glandular 

 swellings of the lungs, appear, according to Von Siebold, to have 

 been the brood of StrongyU. Diesing has treated of this worm 

 in the Genus LI, Strongylus ; Sub-division ** os limbo papilloso. 

 f Caput hand alatum, 2, bursa maris biloba, as Species 22, Stron- 

 gylus longivaginatus, and described it as follows :

I regret that I am unable to furnish any better figures of this 

 worm. Rokitansky's stock contained only fragments of it. The 

 bottle belonging to it had been plundered by an unknown hand. 

 Diesing gave a denial to my request for a couple of specimens, or 

 a figure, although I offered him preparations in exchange, " be- 

 cause his new species and genera would be illustrated by figures 

 in the Memoirs of the Imperial Academy."

 of animals, see ( Anuales de Med. Vet./ 1855, p. 653, and
