T/ENIA MJBDIOOANELLATA. 235 



CHAPTER VI. 



TiENIA MEDIOOANELLATA. 



General and specific characters of Tcsnia mediocanellata — Feeding experiments of 

 Leuckart and Hosier — Acute cestode tuberculosis — Statistics — Kaschin's account 

 of the prevalence of tapeworm amongst the Cossacks of the Baikal — Tcenia acantho- 

 trias, T. fiavopuncta, and T. nana — Probable identity of Taenia elliptica with T 

 cticumerina — Structure of the so-called Cysticercus tenuicollis, or larva of T<Bnia 

 marginata. 



The appropriation of tlie two preceding chapters to the considera- 

 tion of the structure, development, and economy of the common 

 tapeworm enables me to describe the remaining human cestodes 

 with less particularity of detail as regards their structure, but with 

 more fulness in respect of their injurious effects upon our bodies. 

 This will be found necessary, at least, when considering the larval 

 states of the Tcenia mediocanellata and T. echinococGus, whilst some 

 of the other species will be found to present features of interest 

 peculiar to themselves.
