(After Leuckart, 1894, p. 472, Fig. 209.) the consequent location of the agglomeration of eggs, determine the particular symptoms. Either the genito-urinary system is attacked, in which case hsematuria is one of the first symptoms, or the large in- testine is attacked and blood is noticed in the fasces. If the parasites are lodged in the venous plexus of the genito-urinary system, the chief symptoms are : haematuria, j^ains in the lumbar region, the left iliac fossa, the thigh, or in the vulva, which may be spontaneous or may accompany micturition ; cystitis, vesical calculus, urinary fistulas, vaginal verminous tumours, nephritis. The eggs accumulate in the capillaries, which they rupture ; they traverse the mucosa and fall into the bladder, thus causing more or less haemorrhage; in this way the lueinataria is established, which is
