Besides the already mentioned parasites, we also find the Distomaechinatum (Generali and Ratz) and the Distoma heterophytes, found byJaiiyen in Japan and by Loots in Egypt, in the intestines. The Tri- PERITONITIS 95 chocephalus depressiusculus is found in the caecum (Fig. 50). This parasite,according to a number of authors, may produce a catarrh or hemorrhagiccondition of the intestines and invagination of the caecum. Animals af-.
