Abstract

The present study, which has been made in connection with the investigations now being carried on at the University of Missouri for the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries on the artificial propagation of fresh water mussels, was undertaken in order to determine the precise changes that take place in the tissues of fishes as a result of the parasitism of the glochidia.
