3. Coenurus cerebralis Rudolphi, 1819 (Figs. 17-23) (larval form of Multiceps multiceps /Leske, 1780/ Hall, 1919) Intermediate host: Ovis musimon. - Localization: central nervous system. - Over the last 12 years two cases of moufflon suffering from gid were recorded in the Budakeszi Game Farm. The brain of one of these specimens was sent in for examination so the following description is based on data of this coenurus bladder. Description of gid bladderworm from moufflon: A transparent irregularly globular bladder 4 cm in diameter, situated in the central nervous system of the moufflon, beneath the encephalon on the base of the brain (Fig. 17). The interior of the bladder is filled with clear fluid. On the inner surface of the bladder groups of scolices with wrinkled stalks are invaginated (Figs. 18 and 19). The observed stalked scolices in the coenurus bladder possessed no caudal bladder. Scolices 0.76 to 0.90 mm in diameter, rostellum 0.30 mm, suckers 0. 2000.275 mm in diameter. Hooks in two circles, 26 to 32 in number. Large hooks 0. 143 to 0. 177 mm, the small ones 0.090 to 0.134 mm long. Figs. 20-23 illustrate the shapes of hooks.

Definitive host for Multiceps multiceps is the dog. We do not as yet possess adult specimen in our material. Notes. In Hungary, sheep has been known to be effected by gid (KOTLÁN, 1960), but this is the first case of moufflon suffering from this disease. In Europe, gid parasite infecting moufflon has been reported from France (GERVAIS, 1847), The structure of the bladder described above is incomplete agreement with cases described from sheep (KUNSEMÜLLER, 1903, RANSOM, 1905, HALL, 1910, FUHRMANN, 1933, CHRISTIANSEN, 1935). Unfortunately, a figure of C. cerebralis published by FUHRMANN (1933), in Traité de Zoologie (JOYEUX and BAER, 1961) is labelled as C. serialis

. This is an error which only enhances the difficulties that arise in differentiating the closely allied species, which cannot be readily separated. 4. Hydatid cyst of Echinococcus granulosus (Batsch, 1786) (Figs. 24-31) Intermediate host: Sus scrofa. - Localization: liver. - Extensity : 36%. - Intensity: 1-5 hydatid cysts. - Fertile bladders have so far been collected in three localities only, but the species is probably distributed all over the country (Table 1).
