Unfortunately the child was taken away to Canton hy the parents
she
and the subsequent #istory obtained has that it vomited many
more of the flat worms and had died vomiting. The child had lumps in the lower part of the reck and Dr.Kwar considered that it she
was tubercular,
The worm was brought to me in weak spirit it then measured
exactly two inches long and just over half an inch ir breadth,
It consisted of a larze posterior oval part, which was rather rar -rower in front that hebird,and of a small anterior nart loosely
inst attached to the nosterior by a distant joint. This anterior part
measured just over one eighth of an inch long and a little
more than one sixteenth of an inch broad. Its shane wer that of
an oval with one and flattened term to form the joint men-
- tioned; its shape and appearance were quite distinct from those
of the cone of fasciola hepatica or the cone seen on Pasci-
-olopsis buski in certain states of contraction. Or one surface of this segment was a depression hounded in front hy a over-
-hanging lip which projected rackwards. On the anterior hal?
of the posterior segment of the worm there were five round
pits due aparently to restrie digestion but nothing ir ary
way resembling the larre posterior sucker of fasciolonsig
buski could be seer. On staining the worm with carmine and
mounting in halsam it showed the following noints. The yoke
Flands were extensively develoned, meeting each other hehind.
The testicles were larre,placed one behind the other
branched repeatedly. The ovary was branched. All the ghove
structures and also the shell land showed a close resemblance
to those of fasciolopsis huski in size shane and arrangement.
