On the Structure and Development of the Cysticercus cellulosae, as Found in the Pig, by George Rainey

collections of corpuscles make up nearly the whole of an animalcule, & they fre- quently give to it a lobulated & some= times an obscurely annulose appearance. See Plate 1. fig: 10. also Plate 2 fig 5 - & Plate 3. fig. 2. These entozoa, as long as they remain in the primary fasciculi, retain all those characters which have so far been described, but these characters gradually disappear after they have broken away from the cavity of the sarcolemma, & gained access to the spaces between the muscular fibres. In this new situation they gradually loose their former membranous clothing, studded with cilia-like fibres which can occasionally be seen isolated in part from its corpuscular contents sufficiently perfect to admit of demon- stration. The reniform corpuscles before aggregated together in circular groups now gradually lose their dis- tinctness of outline & imperfectly coalesce into confused ill-defined masses having an oily aspect, so that, if in this state, one of these vermicules be crushed under the microscope amorphous oily & granu= lar matter will be seen to have escaped from it, similar to that contained in the ventral part of the adult animal. Here too, the restraint to the lateral growth of these
