These were formerly described as distinct groups; but it is now known that the latter are merely the young forms of the former. The peculiarity which distinguishes the development of the Tceni- ada, and which led to the cystic worms being described as distinct animals, is that the different stages of growth are always found inhabiting different animals or " ; If the fully-grown tape-worm is found in one animal, then its young form or cystic worm will always be found in another. Many animals are infested by tape-worms; but all the leading points of interest in the order will be brought out by a consideration of the commonest of the three tape-worms to which man is subject—^namely, the common tape-worm, or Tcenia Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Nicholson, Henry Alleyne, 1844-1899.
