Certainly any decrease in size of the ventral sucker is minor. The cirrus pouch is small and stout, lying immediately and entirely in front of the ventral sucker. Muscle fibres from the somatic muscle layers and the ventral sucker have been isolated and images obtained with phase-contrast microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Isolated muscle fibres from the ventral sucker may represent a more homogeneous population of muscle fibres than fibres isolated from a whole fluke digest. The physical size of the sucker results in a broadening of the worm at this point and is generally the widest aspect of the worm. Hypothetically, glandular secretions are involved in tissue degradation (disintegration of the papilla and attached sucker following pairing) and fusion of the adjacent tegument. It is probably not a result of atrophy of the sucker; the suckers of immatures and adults show no signs of degradation. Partially digested ventral suckers of adult flukes were prepared as described previously, then fixed and processed for phalloidin staining. The eggs were scattered around the ovary and along the left side of the ventral sucker. These are seen on the oral and ventral suckers and lateral, ventral and dorsal body surfaces. The oral sucker is subterminal and measures about 0"16 mm. in diameter. The excretory vesicle is placed at the posterior end slightly in front, and at the side of, the large sucker. Once both ventral suckers are attached to their respective papillae, lysis and fusion of the adjoining tissues begin. On the scolex, there were four suckers and two rows of hooklets.
