That the eggs of numerous parasitic animals may be deposited in the textures of living beings, and that these develop themselves in such textures, and draw thence their nourishment, has been long known. But that, under particular circumstances, certain cryptogamic plants are capable of germinating and fructifying in the living tissues of animals, and especially in man himself, is a discovery of recent date.

^{page 289 note 1} Carus has figured and given a description of confervæ growing on a dead salamander. (Nova Acta, vol. ii. p. 493.) I may here observe, that similar confervæ may be produced at will, by allowing frogs or gold fish to remain, after death, some time in water without changing it. In a few days they become covered with a white efflorescence, which, examined microscopically, is found to consist of long transparent tubes, jointed at regular intervals. I have frequently examined confervæ thus produced: they are different from those which grow on these animals during life.
