(Tyson after Braun.) 158 DIAGNOSTIC METHODS. vitelline duct; ovary single, branched, lying in front of testes and to one sideof the median line; the uterus coiled into a rosette, showing as a brown spotjust back of the ventral sucker on the ventral surface; vitelline glands numerous, ranging along each lateral border from thelevel of the ventral sucker to the posteriorextremity of the worm; vitelline ducts run-ning transversely at about the end of theanterior third of the body. The ova areyellowish-brown, oval, operculated, andmeasure 130 to 145 microns in length and70 to 90 microns in width. This fluke is a common one in mostmammalian
