CESTOIDEA. 
The true position of the Ccstoda and Echinorhynchi is between the Proto- 
zoa and Ccdenterata ; and their resemblance to the Vermes and true Articu- 
lata is merely superficial. Giebel, Z. ges. Naturw. (2) iv. p. 384. 
Telrarhynchus corollatus. A supposed larval form found in the tubules of 
the liver of Pagiirus hernhardus described by A. Sanders, M. Micr. J. iii. 
pp. 72-74, pi. 40. 
Bothriocephalus latus. On its mode of development, with notes t)n the 
structure and extreme tenacity of life in both parasite and larva, cf. J. Knoch, 
J. de I’Anat. vii. pp. 1-10. The results obtained correspond with those al- 
ready recorded by him \cf. Zool. Rec. vii. p. 480]. 
Tcenia echinococcus. The thoracic cavity of a specimen of Macropus major ^ 
which died in the zoological garden at Cologne, contained a large number of 
Echinococci, which, when administered to dogs, developed into this species. 
From the wide distribution and isolation of the species, the parasite 
appears to be a very ancient form of Tcenia, H. A. Pagenstecher, Verb. 
Ver. Heidelb. v. pp. 181-186 ; cf. Ann. N. II. (4) viii. p. 295. [Might not 
the kangaroo have become infected in Europe ?]

tified by K. Mobius with the scolex of this species. Zool. Gart. xii.
