Text-fig. 141. Eugonodaeum oedicnemi. Portions of two examples about twice nat. size. The left-hand figure shows the rather large scolex and whiplash-like anterior part of strobila. The right-hand figure consists of mature segments. Text-fig. 142. Part of a transverse section through a proglottid of Eugonodaeum oedicnemi, to show the arrangement of the water-vascular tubes and of the longitudinal muscles. d. Dorsal vessel. m. Longitudinal muscles. n. Nerve-cord. v. Ventral vessel. Text-fig. 143. Part of a horizontal section through a proglottid of Eugonodaeum oedicnemi. e.s. Egg-sacs. l.v. Ventral water-vascular tube. sp.d. A part of a coil of sperm-duct lying in front of an ovary. t. Testes. t.v. Transverse water-vascular tube. v. Vitelline gland; in front of this is the ovary, of which the darkly stained mature ova are partly received with cavities of the parenchyma. Text-fig. 144. Part of a horizontal section through a proglottid of Eugonodaeum oedicnemi, showing a generative aperture. c. Cirrus extruded from cirrus-sac (shown lying in front of it) and received withing vagina (v.). c.g. Very deep cloaca genitalis. sp.d. A coil of sperm-duct.Text-fig. 145. Part of a horizontal section through a proglottid of Eugonodaeum oedicnemi, to show further course of vagina. e. Egg-sacs. m. Longitudinal muslce-fibres. n. Nerve-cord. V. Vagina, full of sperm and widening above to form a receptaculum seminis, thence bending back again to divide into the two usual branches o. & Vit., which are arranged in the same straight line with each other. Text-fig. 146. A horizontal section through mature proglottid of Eugonodaeum oedicnemi. A. Advanced embryo in egg-holding cavity. B. Less advanced embryo in smaller cavity. v. Ventral water-vascular vessel giving off tranverse vessel. 
Text-fig. 147. Part of a section illustrated in text-fig. 146 more highly magnified and showing young egg-sacs in parenchyma (e.s.) and testes (t.), which are very much larger. Text-fig. 148. Another part of the same section of Eugonodaeum oedicnemi showing older embryos surrounded by a greater egg-holding cavity in the medullary parenchyma. A, B. Egg surrounded by thick shell and lying in cavity from which nutritive cells (?), such as are shown in es. in text-figure 147, have disappeared. C. Older embryo with large space surrounding it. D. A degenerating (?) egg-holding cavity and embryo. Best viewed in Firefox
