In a strobila 45 mm. long the number of segments was ap- proximately 175, of which the last 17 contained egg capsules. A segment (No. 130) in the middle of the strobila measured 320/* in length by 880/* in width, and a segment at the end of the strobila measured 650/* in length by mm. in breadth. In some cases the gravid segments are equal in length and breadth. ^vag. sem.' recept 200a.

The nervous system, musculature, and excretory canals are ar- ranged as in Davainea rhynchota^ and the relative location of the reproductive organs is the same. Th ) vas deferens and vagina pass between the excretory canals and dorsal of the nerve cord, as in the other species. Male reproductive organs.—The testicles (fig. 7, t.) number from 30 to 35, arranged in a mass occupying the lateral and posterior por-.
