The two large trunks open into a common contractile vesicle, which opens to the exterior at the posterior end of the body (fig. 253, E'p). The excretory system contains a watery fluid with granular concretions. This fluid is probably an excretory product, corresponding to the urine of higher animals. The nervous system consists of a double ganglion lying above tlio oesophagus, and from it several small nerves and two posteriorly directed lateral trunks are said to be given off'. Eye sjoots witli refractive bodies are sometimes present in the larva) during their migrations. Locomotion is effected by the dermal muscular system and the organs of attachment, viz., the suckers and hooks, which present numerous modifications in number, form, and arrangement. In general, the size and development of these organs are related to the endo- parasitic or ecto-pai-asitic mode of life. In the endo-parasitic Trema- todes they are less developed, and usually consist of the oral sucker and a second larger sucker on the ven- tral sui-face, either near the mouth, as in Distomitm, or at the opposite pole of the body [Amphistomum). This large sucker may, however, be absent (3lonostomum). The ecto- parasitic Polystoraea, on the other hand, are distinguished by a much more powerful armature, for besides two smaller suckers at the sides of the mouth, they possess one or more lai-ge suckers at the posterior end of the body (fig. 258), Avhich, moreover, may be supported by rods of chitin. There are often in addition chitinous hooks, and very frequently two larger hooks among the posterior suckers in the middle line (//). The Trematoda are mostly hermaphrodite. As a ride
