Optimum excystment in trypsin-hile salt after pepsin treatment was attained with 1% trypsin plus sodium taurocholate pretreated for 30 minutes with 1% pepsin. However, excellent excystment (65-75%) occurred also with 10-fold and greater dilutions of these substances (Fig. 5). DISCUSSION Stimuli necessary for excystment of the metacercariae of trematodes are found in the host's intestine. However, escape from enclosing membranes entails re- sponses which differ among the various species. The process is apparently more closely related to that of cestodes and acanthocephalans than that of nematodes (see Rothman, 1959; Rogers, 1962; Graff and Kitzman, 1965). Faust and Khaw (1925, 1927) found that the metacercaria of Clonorchis.
