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

these entozoa being very much diminished, their breadth increases rapidly, & they present globular pro= jections extending out very irregularly from their sides, giving them a very irregular figure. See Plate 2, fig: 2 & 3. These projections gradually take on the form of those described on the ventral part of the perfect entozoon. The largest of the entozoa which I have seen in this stage is about 1/12 of an inch in length, & 1/40 in breadth. The next facts requiring especial notice are those connected with that stage of development which takes place after the animalcule has become surrounded by an adven= titious cyst. The first indication of the forma- tion of a cyst is, the turgescency of the capillaries, or some of the small= er vessels in the vicinity of one or more entozoa. Granular bodies, exudation corpuscles, & fibres of different shapes next make their appearance. These at first obscure the entozoon & afterwards completely conceal it. When the cyst is first formed the animalcule can by a good light & careful examina= tion be obscurely seen within it, & by dissection under the microscope it can be dislodged. See Plate 2. fig: 7. which is
