The embryos then traverse the intestinal wall, and, according to most authors, arrive either ac- tively, by crawling, or passively, by being carried along by the blood, in the liver or lungs, where they undergo certain transformations in structure. While still in the finer branches of the blood- vessels of the liver, which they transform into small, irregularly-shaped tubes about 12 to 15 mm. long and 1 to 1*5 mm. broad, the embryos lose their six hooks, and develop into small, round kernels, which are generally situated at one Fig. 139.—Egg of the marginate tapewonii (Tcenia marginnta), with six-hooked em- bryo, greatly magai- fied.
