    ON THE EXISTENCE OF GLYCOGEN in tht: TISSUES OF CERTAIN ENTOZOA. BY MICHAEL FOSTER, M.B. Although glvcogen hns been found by various observers in the tissues of many of the Invertebrata, no one, as far as I know, has noticed the very remarkable amount which may be obtained from some of the Entozoa. I first came across this fact while working upon a tape-worm; unfortu- nately I neglected to determine the quantity of glycogen I obtained, and have not since had an opportunity of repeating the observation. The fol- lowing remarks apply only to the round w’orm (Ascaris lumbricoidesl) which dwells in the intestines of the common pig.
