Extract

1. Two specimens of Coenurus serialis in the rabbit are described.

2. The duration of infection is estimated at 18–24 months.

3. Secondary external daughter coenuri had developed within the same adventitious cyst of host tissue as the primary coenuri.

4. No internal daughter coenuri were found within the primary coenuri.

5. Both primary coenuri contained some scolices which had developed vesicles (ranging from 3 to 30mm.) in their ‘neck’ region. These vesicular scolices remain attached to the germinal layer until the vesicle is 4–5 mm. in diameter, when they become detached. These would appear to be the internal daughter coenuri of many authors but are here shown to be degenerating scolices.
