None of the Entozoa subjected toPerroncito’s experiments 
celluloscBy pisiformis, tenuicolUs, scolices of Cc&nurus and Echinococcus^ 
Tmnia cucumerina, serrata, perfoliata, embryos of Filaria megastoma and 
microstoma^ Strongylus filaria) survived a raising of the temperature 
(during the course of about ten minutes) to 50^ centigr. The death was 
ascertained not only by their immobility under otherwise favourable 
circumstances, but also by their imbibing carmine or haematoxiline, in 
the case of Cyst, cellulosce also through feeding experiments with nega- 
tive results. In many experiments, a temperature of 45-48® cent, was 
sufficient to ensure the death of the parasite.
