Upon being swallowed with fodder or water, they arrive in the stomach of the inter- mediate host (cattle, sheep, etc.), where the egg- shells are destroyed and the embryos set free. The embryos then traverse the intestinal wall, and, according to most authors, arrive either ac- tively, by crawling, or passively, by being carried along l)y 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-shajjed 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 uiarginate tapeworm (Tfenia niargiitata), with six-hooked em- bryo, greatly magni- fied.
