which are infested with immature Cysticerci. These conditions of the muscular fibres can at once be seen to be abnormal, but still they are altogether of an ambiguous character, & therefore, so far, I have omitted the considera- tion of them only from a wish to keep that which is certain, distinct from that which is only probable. Besides the cells of molecules already described as accumulated in suf= ficient quantity to present the undoubted form of Cysticercus above mentioned, (See Plate 2, fig: 1.) numerous minute irregularly shapen particles are found in the same specimens of diseased muscle. These occur either singly or grouped together in clusters of different shapes & sizes. Some lie immediately beneath the sarcolemma, others are deeply seated in the substance of the primary fasciculi. See Plate 2. fig 9. They exist both in fasciculi containing imperfect entozoa, & in those in which entozoa are not sufficiently formed to have a decided character. These particles do not resemble in the least the scattered nuclei normally existing in muscular fibres nor are they like the spherules of oil into which these fibres are sometimes converted. Occasionally however there is a state of fatty degeneration of some of the muscular fibres, co-existing with this disease. This state is known by the
