Tape-worms cause much trouble, espe- cially to children. It is probable that the most common tape-worm affecting man in the United States is one that passes its intermediate stage in cattle. It is known as Tcenia saginata, and is much like T. solium, but the head is depressed instead of being convex at the end, and the hooks, which are conspicuous in T. solium, are wanting in T. saginata.
