After fixation of the worm it is impossible to straighten out this nock for the purpose of measuring it; but Moniez calculated that in one moderate- sized specimen examined by him it measured 65 centimetres, and the length was probably greater still in larger specimens.

The structure of the scolex (fig. 2, S., & fig. 3) is espe- cially important. Moniez dismisses it with the statement that it is provided with four suckers and destitute of hooks. In reality, however, its suckers deserve special attention. They are, strictly, " bothridia " of the type seen in certain Cestodes of the family Phyllobothriidpe—i. e., they have the form of elongated flaps (fig. 3, B.) attached to the scolex at their anterior ends and hanging freely posteriorly. Then- edges are slightly curled inwards at the sides and behind,.
