Theneck is rather long and slender, being followed by about150 small proglottids, which are broader than long ( mm. broad by to long). The ova are characteristic. Theyare round or oval in shape, 32 to 36by 42 to 56 microns in size, and havetwo distinct membranes. At eachpole of the inner membrane is seen asmall protuberance from which springsa number of clear refractile threads,which are distributed in a wavingfashion through the substance interme-diate to the outer and inner Fig. 34.—Headand neck of taeniadiminuta. {Tysonafter Braun.)
