From the division ofthe egg cell, which undergoestotal cleavage, therearises a spherical embryo surrounded by one or moreenbryonic membranes. From the latter mayoriginate an inner shell, as is the case in Tajniadae (),oraciliatedmantle,asin Bothriocephalidae (). The spherical embryo (Fig. 1312), which isknown as the onchosphere, is uniformly characterizedby the presence of three pairs of hooks.^S^ of variable shape and by great mobil- ^ J ity, and in this condition is ready for \m^ introduction into the secondary host. This may be the result of a direct mi-gration, as when the ciliated bothrio-cephalic! embryo, swimming about inthe water, is swallowed by a suitablehost; or it may be of passive character, as when thetsenioid egg containing an embryo enveloped in itsmembranes arrives
