Abstract
I WOULD suggest that the tapeworm referred to by Mr. G. J. Romanes is like the Bothriocephalus of man—perhaps a species of the same genus. This is not supposed to have a cystic state, but to be developed from a ciliated embryo taken into the system on raw or badly-cooked vegetables, which have been watered by sewage from cesspools, in which the eggs will remain alive for months.
