![a peculiar kind is found in the flesh of the brama_ raji;” tetrarhynchus, of which a few species are found in different parts of the sea turtles, fishes, and also of the cuttle fish, which they seem able to perforate; Mgula, which kind are found in an imperfect state in the belly of many fishes, but in a more perfect state in the alimentary canal of animals living on fish, viz. in seals and sea-birds, and they are besides remarkable, as they perforate the living fish;°° tri@nophorus, of which the only species lives in the intestines of many fishes; botrice- halus, TAPE worm,” in the intestines of man, seals, birds, and fishes, and lastly, the t@nta, CHAIN WORM,” a very com- mon kind living in the intestines of men, beasts, birds, amphibia, and fishes. Finally, the family of cyst worms, cystica,*® consisting of the genera anthocephalus,” which is found in some southern fishes; eystécercus,” peculiar to men and beasts; ccenurus, in the brain of sheep, antelopes, and cattle, affected with the gid, and echinococcus,” which occurs in men, monkeys, and some of the cloven-footed animals.

(3) Passing over the fabulous accounts of moles, cats, mice, chickens, and fish, which have been engendered in the bodies of men, and evacuated, there are however observations on amphibia which have been evacuated alive, not to be rejected as valueless, on account of the great tenacity of life in these animals; probably, however, a prudent scepticism with regard to them is very wholesome ; but of the batrachial animals there have occurred some instances worthy of credit.—Schenk, in Harless Rhein. Jahrb. fiir Medic. u. Chir. Vol. VII. Part III. p. 138, gives a recent instance of a salamander; in the Bresl. Mus.
