The same dark-coloured, slightly raised areas are present, but are 
not so extensive as those developing in the walls of the caecum The 
anterior longitudinal band is almost free from these areas and nodules. 
The posterior band is thickened and appears to be infiltrated along 
the whole of its length by hard masses. On the internal and posterior 
walls are eighteen small oval cystic tumours. 
At two places between the internal and posterior bands the 
appendices epiploicae are thickened, and dissection exposes a small 
worm lying on the wall of the colon. In each case the worm is seen 
lying near the ruptured cyst from which it has evidently recently 
issued. The worm is lying on the wall of the bowel, free from its 
restraining cyst, and apparently only confined by the adhesions 
epiploica to the wall. The fascia around the worm is stained dark- 
brown, and microscopic examination shows very many red blood cells, 
some pus cells, and numerous cocci, streptococci and short colon-like 
acil i. [Plate V, fig. y , appendix epiploica turned back and worm in 
situ. The three light points seen near the worm are portions of 
worms belonging to other cysts. The covering over these cysts is 
very thin and was tom when turning back the epiploica. The exit- 
hole made by the cesophagostome is seen as a dark spot above and 
slightly to the right; specimen x 16.]
