The epithelial proliferation leads to inhibition of the secretionand to the formation of a cyst. The bristles come to lie in the cysts»either throngh fusion of the hair follicles with the cysts, or byPenetration of developing bristles into the primary cysts of theconvoluted glands. The fuUy developed coccidia have a membrane,are ovate, .034 mm. long, .0275 mm. wide, and, therefore, somewhafcthicker than Coccidium ovi/orme (Fig
