their long axes directed parallel to 
and occup}’ almost the entire thick- 
ness of the inner parenchyma. The 
two dextral testes are in the pos- 
terior half, the other one in the 
anterior half of the proglottis. 
The vas deferens (i\ def.^ hg. 117) 
in its course to the genital pore 
lies toward the dorsal side of the 
segment; after passing the right 
hand testis it swells out into a large

size describes one or two S-shaped 
loops, and enters the base of the 
cirrus pemch. 
The latter {c. />., tigs. 115, 117) 
is a powerfully developed club- 
shaped organ, which when straight 
lies entirely in the anterior half of 
the proglottis; it may be bent S-like 
and lie in the posterior half of the 
proglottis as well. It measures in 
length from 0.82 to 1.2 mm. and 
from 60 to 190yu in width at differ- 
ent points. Externally the cirrus 
pouch (tig. 121) is supplied with a 
layer of longitudinal muscle lamellae

ness of 50/c The lamellae become 
gradually thinner toward the distal 
end of the cirrus pouch, and in its 
outer third are reduced to a very 
thin muscle layer. In relation to 
the muscle lamellae is a thick layer 
of myoblastic cells (//?y.). Within 
the cirrus pouch the vas deferens 
is again enlarged to seaiiaal 
vesicle which lies toward the dorsal 
side. The vas deferens, near the 
junction of the middle and outer 
thirds of the cirrus pouch, becomes 
reduced in size, turns mediad and. 
running along the ventral wall of 
the pouch again swells out into 
transverse axis of the segment,
