The eggs are 0.026 to 0.03 mm.long, and o.on to 0.015 mm- broad, lidded at the pointed end; moreoblong than those of D. sinense, and somewhat flattened on one side.The usual host of this parasite is the cat or the dog, but it has latelybeen observed in the human inhabitants of Tomsk by Winogradoff.

In the female the vulva lies deeply behind the anteriorthird of the body (fig. 88). The eggs are nearly round, and brownishyellow in colour. Their diameter is 0.06 to 0.07 mm. In the freshstate they are covered externally with an albuminous layer, and beneaththis is a tough shell, which in turn encloses the very granular contents.The Ascaris lumbricoides infests the small intestine in man, and itappears to be common to all climates. It occurs also in cattle and insheep. It has no special medical interest; but it is thought by Lutz146 226 THE FiECES to cause spasm and tympanitis, and to impede nutrition in children.Kartulis147 records a case of death in a man following directly upon aninvasion of the liver by ascarides.
