In administering to dogs embryos of the bothriocephalus, Knoch affirms that he has found adult worms in the digestive tube of these animals, but Davaine thinks these statements need to be confirmed by other experiments before they should be accepted. [Eecently Braun of St. Petersburg, after determining the presence of scolices of bothriocephalus in the muscles, liver and organs of generation of the pike, trout, and eel pout, by feeding these to cats and dogs, suc- ceeded in rearing worms which differed in no respect, except in being smaller, from the bothriocephalus of man. Such being the case, it be- comes evident that a man may ordinarily become infested with the para- site by eating raw or insufficiently cooked fishes of the kind mentioned.*] * Davaine, Des Cestoids, Diet.
