CHAPTER 7
ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

SOLUTIONS

1. ‘Accountants should not concern themselves too much with elaborate administrative and
accounting controls in an internal control system, since any such system is only as good as
the human element in the system.’ Do you agree? Explain your answer.

The primary role of internal control is to safeguard the assets of the entity against waste,
fraud, inefficiency and incompetence. Cash, being a liquid asset, is very susceptible to
robbery and fraud; therefore, safeguarding cash requires stringent internal control procedures.
Clearly established lines of responsibility and separation of duties are important (see text p.
286).
People, being naturally ingenious, often try to outsmart the system, and sometimes succeed;
but a good internal control system should detect whenever there has been a breakdown in
procedures, or collusion between employees. Employing competent staff to carry out internal
control procedures is vital. However, the cost of a good internal control system may exceed
the benefits, both economic and social, of having such a system; hence, costs and benefits
must be carefully considered in the system’s design phase to ensure adequate but not
excessive internal control procedures. Accountants should concern themselves to the point
where they consider controls in an internal control system adequate. It is impossible to
establish the ‘perfect control system’.

2. What is an internal control system? Discuss the principles involved in establishing a good
internal control system. Discuss also the limitations of internal control systems.

A system of internal control consists of all the measures used by a business:


• to safeguard its resources against waste, fraud and inefficiency
• to promote the reliability of accounting data
• to encourage compliance with business policies and government regulations.
Two aspects to internal control:
(1) administrative controls and
(2) accounting controls.
Administrative controls are those established to provide operational efficiency and
adherence to prescribed policies, such as a written directive identifying the standards to be
followed in hiring new employees, manuals identifying purchasing and sales procedures,
and various performance reports required from employees.
Accounting controls are the methods and procedures used to protect assets and ensure the
reliability of accounting records, such as procedures for the authorisation of transactions and
the separation of record-keeping duties from custodianship of the entity’s assets.
Principles of internal control which should be discussed are:
• Clearly established lines of responsibility
• Separation of record keeping and custodianship
• Division of responsibility for related transactions

• Adequate insurance
• Internal auditing
• Programming. physical and other controls.
See text pp. 286–287 for further discussion.
For discussion of the limitations of internal control systems, see text p. 288.

3. ‘In a system which uses several special journals, it is not necessary to have a general
journal.’ Do you agree? Explain.

In a system with several special journals, the need for a general journal remains to account for
any unusual transactions or events which cannot be catered for by any of the special journals.
Furthermore, the general journal is required for recording adjusting and closing entries.
Different special journals may be omitted from an entity’s accounting system, but the general
journal is always needed. In a sophisticated computerised accounting system, the general
journal may be the only journal needed. Such a general journal will provide a chronological
record of all transactions and events as they affect the entity.

4. During the month of October, credit sales for a business actually amounted to $963 534.
However, an error of $10 000 had been made in totalling the sales column of the sales
journal. When and how will this error be discovered?

The error would be detected at the end of the month when cross-adds are performed in the
sales journal. The total of the sales column and GST Payable column (credit columns) should
equal the total of the accounts receivable column (debit), which would then be posted to the
Accounts Receivable control account. If the error is not detected at this point, ultimately, the
unadjusted trial balance of the general ledger at the end of the month will be out of balance by
$10 000. The control account and subsidiary ledger balances will also not agree at the end of
the month and the error could be flagged by this disagreement.

5. Identify the major sources of cash receipts recorded in a cash receipts journal. Identify the
major transactions which involve cash payments in the cash payments journal.

The major sources of cash receipts are cash sales, the collection of accounts receivable from
customers, investments of capital by owners, sale of non-current assets and bank loans. The
major transactions involving cash payments are cash purchases of inventories, payment of
accounts payable, payments for various expenses including wages and taxes, and repayment
of bank loans.

6. An inventory purchase on credit of $10 000 plus GST was correctly recorded in the purchases
journal of a business. However, when postings were made to the accounts payable in the
subsidiary ledger, the purchase was incorrectly recorded as $1100; however, the correct
amount was posted to the inventory subsidiary ledger. When and how will this error be
discovered?

The amount that should have been posted to the accounts payable subsidiary ledger is $11
000. This error, which is called a ‘slide’, can be discovered in a couple of ways
1. The balance of the Accounts Payable Control account at the end of the period will
not agree with the total of the schedule of accounts payable subsidiary ledger
accounts.
2. It may be discovered very quickly (!) by paying the incorrect amount owing to the
particular creditor, who no doubt will query the size of the amount paid.

7. Critically examine the following remark: ‘By having the post ref. column in all of the special

© John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd 2015 7.3


Chapter 7: Accounting systems

journals, the recording process is slowed down, and too much unnecessary detail is provided
for very little purpose’.

An audit trail is necessary to ensure the completeness of the accounting records, and to
safeguard the composition of an entity’s assets and liabilities. Discuss with the class the need
for all businesses to provide an audit trail in order to trace the flow of all source documents
and transactions into the accounting records. The post ref column is extremely important in
that it represents the audit trail in the journals and ledgers.

8. Explain the treatment of sales returns and allowances and purchases returns and allowances
in special journals, under both the periodic and perpetual inventory systems. How would
these items be recorded on an inventory record in the subsidiary ledger? Why?

Unless an entity has many sales returns and purchases returns, enough to require the
establishment of special journals, such transactions are dealt with adequately in the general
journal, as illustrated in the demonstration problem p. 310 (periodic inventory system) to this
chapter.
Under a perpetual inventory system, two general journal entries are necessary for sales
returns, and one entry is necessary for purchases returns, as illustrated in Chapter 6, figure
6.10, p. 254. As illustrated in figure 6.10, sales returns are recorded as negative sales in that
the inventory returned to the entity is then placed back into inventory if the goods are not
faulty. Likewise, purchases returns are recorded as negative purchases in that the Inventory
account is credited and Accounts Payable is debited. The reason for such treatment in the
perpetual inventory inventory is so that the inventory records allow the entity to calculate the
correct net purchases and correct cost of sales for that inventory item. Further discussion of
this treatment is provided in Chapter 19 (AIA9e) and Chapter 14 (FAIA9e).

9. Which journal(s) would be used to record the following transactions? The business is
registered for GST.
(a) The introduction of cash and office equipment by the owner on establishment of the
business.
(b) The cash payment of rent in advance.
(c) The purchase of inventory on credit.
(d) The purchase of office supplies on credit.
(e) The sale of inventory on credit.
(f) The sale of some pieces of office equipment on credit.
(g) The collection of cash from a customer.
(h) The return of part of the inventory purchased previously on credit from a supplier.
(i) The adjusting entry for rent which is still prepaid at the end of the accounting period.
(j) The adjusting entry for unused office supplies.
(k) The closing entry for expenses at the end of the period.

(a) cash receipts journal for the cash, and the general journal for the office equipment
(b) cash payment journal
(c) purchases journal
(d) general journal; however, if a multipurpose purchases journal exists, as shown in figure
7.6 p. 295, the multipurpose purchases journal would be used
(e) sales journal
(f) general journal
(g) cash receipts journal
(h) general journal, or purchases returns journal if one exists
(i) general journal
(j) general journal
(k) general journal

10. ‘Since nearly all accounting functions today are computerised, there is really no need for
accountants to have an understanding of manual accounting systems.’ Do systems designers
need to understand manual accounting systems? Discuss.

Despite the growth in demand for computerised accounting packages being used in business,
there is always demand for students and accountants who have an underlying basic
accounting knowledge. For example, to understand how MYOB, Quick Books and other
computerised packages work, you need to understand the basic workings of a manual
accounting system (on which these computerised programs are modelled). Manual accounting
systems studied in introductory accounting courses form the basis for understanding
accounting and the financial reporting process. For this reason the study of manual systems is
paramount to understanding basic business transactions and the associated practice. As
indicated in the chapter, computerised accounting systems make extensive use of control
accounts/subsidiary ledgers, and adapt the principles underlying special journals.

Problem 7.2 Determining an appropriate accounting system

Bush Basher Bikes sells off road motorbikes on both a credit and cash basis. They stock a full range
of spare parts and accessories. The business also employs a full-time mechanic who carries out
servicing and repairs on motorbikes — those sold by Bush Basher Bikes as well as those purchased
from other suppliers.
Prenumbered invoices are issued for all sales and services provided. Terms are strictly n/30 and no
discounts are offered. Total revenues last financial year amounted to $820 000 — $680 000 from the
sale of motorbikes, $42 000 for parts and accessories, and $98 000 for servicing and repairs. All
receipts are banked daily, and a petty cash system is in operation. Cash discounts are offered by all
suppliers, and the business ensures that all discounts on offer are taken. All payments are made by
online bank transfers with frequent payments made to suppliers, transport companies for delivery
costs on purchases, sponsorships and advertising. The mechanic is paid on every second Friday. The
office manager is paid an annual salary for managing the office, and for performing the manual
accounting duties.
The business currently has a manual system of accounting using special journals and subsidiary
ledgers. Rev Head, the owner of Bush Basher Bikes, is considering implementing a tried and tested
integrated accounting package.

Required
A. Identify the subsidiary ledger or ledgers that would be used in the current system.
B. Identify the special journals that would be appropriate in the current system, and suggest
appropriate columns that would be used in each of them.
C. Should a computer-based accounting system be implemented? Explain the reasons for your
decision.

A. Accounts Receivable Subsidiary Ledger — for all sales on credit to customers


Accounts Payable Subsidiary Ledger — for all purchases on credit from suppliers.

B. Special journals implemented:

C. Rev head should utilise a computer-based accounting system like MYOB. The business has
sufficient turnover, i.e. total revenue of $820 000 from three major business activities. The
business also has a high volume of transactions. Banking is done daily and all payments are
made by online bank transfers. A computerised accounting system can include the
requirement for a password, or passwords, to be entered before payments can be made. Rev
head can also set up a system of electronic payments. Such systems will assist greatly in
recording and accounting for GST.

The total income, the distinct three business activities and the volume of transactions would
easily justify the implementation of a computerised accounting system. This will speed up the
record-keeping process and assist in preparing financial statements. It will also help in the
review of the accounts for audit or tax preparation purposes. The relatively low cost of the
computer software will also make it economical for the business to implement such a system.

Problem 7.4 Reconciling monthly statement – accounts payable

© John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd 2015 7.41


Chapter 7: Accounting systems

You are the person responsible for the accounts payable ledger of Cameron Ltd. You are concerned
that the statement of account for the month ending 30 June 2016 received from Deveson Ltd does not
agree with the records shown for Deveson Ltd in the accounts payable subsidiary ledger. As a valued
customer of Deveson Ltd, Cameron Ltd receives a trade discount of 5% off the marked price of all
goods purchased. In addition, a 2% discount is allowed for payments made within 10 days of the
statement date. Ignore GST.
Deveson Ltd records all sales to Cameron Ltd net of trade discount. The statement dated 30 June
shows that Cameron Ltd owes $19 680 to Deveson Ltd. An examination of the account of Deveson Ltd
in the subsidiary ledger and other records reveals the following discrepancies:
1. Because of a clerical error, the credit side of the account of Deveson Ltd had been overstated by
$585.
2. The cash discount of $660, which had been deducted when making the May payment, had been
disallowed by Deveson Ltd because the payment was received more than 10 days after the
statement date.
3. Invoice no. D443 for a gross amount (before trade discount) of $820 had been entered on the
statement twice.
4. Invoice no. D452 for a gross amount (before trade discount) of $1080 had been correctly entered
on the statement but no records of the invoice had been recorded in the books of Cameron Ltd
even though the goods had been received.
5. Invoice no. D587 for $150 had been incorrectly debited on the statement as $510, and this invoice
had not been entered in the purchases journal or the subsidiary ledger as the goods had not yet
been received.
6. Adjustment (credit) note no. C321 for $125 received from Deveson Ltd had not been entered in
the subsidiary ledger, and had been entered on the statement as an invoice.

Required
Prepare a reconciliation memo which reconciles the amount owing on the statement of account from
Deveson Ltd to the amount which Cameron Ltd actually owes at 30 June. Assuming that payment will
be made on 9 July 2016, what is the amount of interbank transfer to Deveson Ltd’s bank account to
pay the amount owing?

Statement amount adjustments


$19 680
1. Deveson’s statement reflects correct position —
2. Deveson’s statement reflects correct position —
3. Statement amount needs to be reduced by $861, a credit of $820 for the
duplication on invoices plus the trade discount of $41 not deducted by
Deveson Ltd on the first invoice. –861
4. Deveson’s statement amount needs to be reduced by $54, the amount of
the trade discount not deducted –54
5. Statement amount needs to be reduced by $360, the amount incorrectly
overstated on the statement –360
6. Statement amount needs to be reduced by $125 to remove the effect of
incorrectly recording an invoice, plus a further reduction to take account
of the adjustment note –250
Correct amount of the statement should be $18 155

The amount of the interbank transfer to Deveson Ltd should be $18 155 less 2% discount ($363.10) =
$17 791.90.

similar places. The two latter occur in chains formed by fission; but
the sexual individuals (which are of distinct sexes, contrary to the
usual hermaphrodite condition of Flat Worms) only appear at stated
times and are not well known. A large number of genera are purely
marine, and one family, the Proboscidae (distinguished by having the
anterior end invaginated by special muscles and converted into a
sensory organ), is entirely so. The most cursory examination of
littoral weeds reveals species of Macrorhynchus, Acrorhynchus,
Promesostoma, Byrsophlebs, and Proxenetes, the character of
which may be gathered from von Graffs great monograph, or from
Gamble's paper on the "British Marine Turbellaria."[65] Much,
however, still remains to be done before we possess an adequate
idea of the occurrence of this group on our coasts.

Some Rhabdocoels are parasitic. Fecampia erythrocephala, which


occurs in the lacunar spaces and alimentary canal of young shore
crabs (Carcinus maenas), is a white cylindrical animal ¼ inch long,
with a red snout. After attaining maturity it works its way out of the
crab and encysts under stones, forming a pyriform mass in shape
like a "Prince Rupert's drop." Within this case the eggs develop, and
the young probably emerge through the open narrow end of the hard
white tube, but how they reach the crab is not known. Graffilla
muricicola is found in the kidney of Murex brandaris and M.
trunculus, at Naples and Trieste; G. tethydicola in the foot of Tethys.
Anoplodium parasiticum occurs among the muscles which attach the
cloaca of Holothuria tubulosa to the body-wall; and A. schneideri
occurs in the sea-cucumber, Stichopus variegatus. These are truly
parasitic forms, constituting a special sub-family. They have no
rhabdites in the skin; the nervous system and sense-organs are only
slightly developed; and the pharynx has undergone a notable
reduction in relation to the simpler mode of obtaining nourishment.
Other cases of association between certain Rhabdocoels (closely
allied to, if not identical with, certain free-living species) and
Lamellibranchs or Sea-urchins, are, however, of another kind. Thus
on the gills or in the mantle cavity of species of Mytilus, Cyprina,
Tellina, and upon the test of Clypeaster, such forms as Enterostoma
mytili, Acmostoma cyprinae, and Provortex tellinae have been found.
But it is probable that these Turbellaria here obtain merely a
temporary shelter and possibly a supply of the food of the mussel or
sea-urchin.

The Alloeocoela afford a well-established case of association.


Monotus fuscus (Fig. 19, D), an abundant, active, elongated animal,
lives on our coasts in the upper part of the littoral zone among
Patella, Balanus, and sometimes Chiton. When the tide is low, the
Monotus, to obtain moisture and darkness, creeps between the
mantle-folds of these animals, where it may readily be found. Upon
the return of the tide it leaves its retreat and creeps or swims about
freely. Other Alloeocoela collect in great numbers in tufts of red-
seaweeds (Florideae). By placing such tufts in vessels, the sea-
water, especially as darkness sets in, begins to swarm with
Cylindrostoma 4-oculatum, species of Enterostoma and
Plagiostoma; P. vittatum, with three violet bands across the white
body, being a particularly obvious form. Vorticeros auriculatum (Fig.
19, C), another abundant species, is remarkable for the long
tentacles which can be completely withdrawn, and in this condition it
completely resembles a Plagiostoma.
The presence of a species (P. lemani) of the characteristically marine
genus Plagiostoma, in the Lake of Geneva, and in one or two other
Swiss lakes, at depths varying from 1 to 150 fathoms, is very
interesting, and is perhaps the only well-established case of the
survival of a once marine Rhabdocoelid under changed conditions.
Plagiostoma lemani is by far the biggest of the group to which it
belongs, being over half an inch in length. It is usually found in fine
mud, sometimes among Chara hispida, and has the general
appearance of an inactive white slug. We are indebted to Forel and
Duplessis for the discovery of this species, and also of
Otomesostoma morgiense, a Mesostoma with an otolith, dredged in
10 to 50 fathoms in the Lake of Geneva, the Lake of Zürich, and
found recently also by Zacharias in the Riesengebirge. The genus
Bothrioplana, first found by Braun in the water-pipes of Dorpat, has
been carefully investigated by Vejdovsky,[66] who places it in a
special family, Bothrioplanidae, among the Alloeocoela. One species
has recently been found near Manchester.

A comprehensive survey of the Rhabdocoelida shows that, with the


chief exception of the Proboscidae, the more lowly organised forms,
the Acoela and Alloeocoela, are marine, whereas the fresh-water
forms are in most cases the most highly organised genera
(Mesostoma, Vortex). But Macrorhynchus helgolandicus, though
minute (1.5-2 mm. long), has a more complex structure[67] than any
other species of the specialised marine genus to which it belongs,
and is a remarkable instance of great complexity being associated
with small size.

Reproduction.—The Rhabdocoelida present the greatest diversity


in the development of the reproductive system. The Acoela and
Alloeocoela have the simplest arrangement. Scattered testes, often
without a distinct membrane, form the spermatozoa, which in most
cases wander into parenchymatous spaces, but in Monoporus
rubropunctatus and Bothrioplana, into distinct vasa deferentia. In
both groups a protrusible penis opens independently to the exterior,
and may be simply muscular or provided with a chitinous armature.
Two ovaries are present, and the oviducts, if distinct, are
continuations of the ovarian membrane. In most forms a "bursa
seminalis," which receives the spermatozoa of another individual, is
appended to the female genital canal. In many of the Alloeocoela,
however, a portion of the ovary is sterile, and its cells, forming a yolk-
gland, feed the fertile portion, the whole structure being then spoken
of as a germ-yolk-gland. In many others (Monotidae) this sterile part
has become an independent yolk-gland, which communicates by
yolk-ducts with the oviducts. The Acoela form no egg-case, the body
of the parent becoming a bag for the ova, which elaborate their own
food-yolk. The Alloeocoela lay hard-shelled eggs, which are
produced in Bothrioplana and Automolos by the activity and
interaction of reproductive organs, resembling closely those of
certain Triclads.[68]

The Rhabdocoela exhibit every stage in the development of a


complex reproductive system, from the simple ovaries and testes of
a Microstoma or Macrostoma, to the intricate system of ducts and
glands of a Macrorhynchus (Proboscidae), in which there is still
much to be made out. The complications of the copulatory organs
chiefly arise from the way in which the spermatozoa are brought into
contact with a nutritive prostatic fluid, or are formed into
spermatophores; and also from the penial armature, which is often
very complex, and may consist of a curved chitinoid hook or a coiled
loop (Promesostoma), of hooks (Proboscidae), or of an intricate
arrangement of plates (Proxenetes); or the penis may take on a
complex corkscrew-like form (Pseudorhynchus). The (frequently
armed) female genital canal usually possesses a bursa seminalis for
the fertilisation of the eggs, but a receptaculum seminis or
spermatheca may serve for the reception, the bursa, for the
lodgment of the spermatozoa of another individual. The fertilised
ovum is provided with a supply of food-yolk and with a shell, which
may be formed in a special diverticulum, the "uterus." The
development of these organs strains the resources of the animal to
the utmost, and in some Proboscidae the alimentary canal is
squeezed out and disintegrates, in order to make room for them.
A few Mesostoma (M. ehrenbergii, M. productum, M. lingua) produce
two kinds of eggs—thin- and thick-shelled. The latter are laid
throughout the summer, and lie dormant through winter. The young
which hatch in spring out of these "winter" eggs develop rapidly, and
when only 7 to 8 mm. long (i.e. one-third the size of the parent)
already possess functional genital organs; the penis, however, is
rudimentary, and incapable of being used for copulation. Hence it is
probable that this stunted progeny self-fertilise their thin-shelled or
"summer" eggs. After the formation of these eggs the same parent is
said (Schneider[69]) to produce thick-shelled or winter eggs, but
however that may be, the first young which hatch from the thin-
shelled ova are produced in great numbers at a time (April to May)
when food is abundant. These grow rapidly to the full size, and then
having attained maturity, cross-fertilise one another's ova, which
become encased in a thick brown shell; and it is these numerous
"winter" eggs that lie dormant throughout the autumn and winter.
Many Mesostoma, and practically all other Rhabdocoela, however,
produce only thick-shelled eggs, and in all cases it is probable that to
these many species owe their wide distribution, the exact range of
which is, however, unknown, as is also the means of dispersal.

From the Turbellaria we now pass on to a consideration of the


second great subdivision of the Platyhelminthes, the Trematodes or
"flukes," of which the "liver-fluke" is the best known, since it is one of
the most dangerous parasites that infest domestic animals.

It has been pointed out that the Polyclads, Triclads, and


Rhabdocoels are carnivorous, and that in each of these groups
sporadic cases of parasitism occur. In other words, when the prey is
much larger than the Turbellarian, the latter tends to become a
parasite, and we can trace the development of the parasitic habit
from the gradual association of Turbellaria with Ascidians,
Crustacea, Molluscs, and Polyzoa merely for protective purposes,
through the adoption, not only of the body of the host for shelter, but
of its flesh for food; though it is only in some Rhabdocoels (Graffilla,
etc.) that there exists a degeneration corresponding to the easier
mode of nutrition and simpler life. The Trematodes,[70] however, are
wholly parasitic, either on the outer surface, the gills, or internal
organs of their host, which is almost always a Vertebrate. Some
Trematodes lodge in the mouth; others wander down the
oesophagus into the stomach or intestine, where they fix themselves
to the mucous membrane. Again, others work their way into the
digestive glands by the ducts, and thus become further and further
removed from the external world, and more adapted to live in the
particular organs of that host in which they best flourish. The most
important result of the adoption of this internal habitat by
endoparasitic Trematodes is, however, seen in their life-history. If a
liver-fluke were to deposit its million or so of eggs in the bile-ducts of
the sheep, and these were to develop in situ, the host could not
withstand the increased drain upon its vital resources, and host and
parasites would perish together. Hence it is clear that the infection of
a second host by Trematodes is highly necessary, whether they be
ectoparasitic, in which case the infection is easily effected, when two
hosts are in contact, by the adult worms, as well as when they are
apart, by free-swimming larvae. In endoparasitic Trematodes it is
brought about by the migration of the young to the outer world, their
entrance into a, usually, Invertebrate host and their asexual
multiplication within it, and the capture and deglutition of this
"intermediate host" by the final Vertebrate one. Within the latter the
immature parasites find out the organ in which their parents
flourished, and here they too grow and attain maturity. The chances
of any one egg of an endoparasitic Trematode producing eventually
an adult are, therefore, far less favourable than in the case of an
ectoparasitic form. In other words, while the former must lay a great
number of small eggs, the latter need only deposit a (comparatively)
few large ones, and this fact has a corresponding influence on the
structure of the genitalia in the two cases. The Digenea, which
employ two hosts in a lifetime, have accordingly a different
generative mechanism from that of the Monogenea. The great need
of the latter is a powerful apparatus for adhering to the surface of the
body of its host; while the adaptations which the endoparasite
requires are, in addition, (1) protection against the solvent action of
the glands of its host, (2) the power of firm adhesion to a smooth
internal surface, and (3) the ability not only to produce a large
quantity of spermatozoa and ova, but in the absence of a fellow-
parasite, to fertilise its own ova; and we find these conditions
abundantly satisfied.

Trematoda monogenea (ectoparasitica).

There are four subdivisions of the Monogenea:—

I. Temnocephalidae, with four to twelve tentacles, and one sucker


posteriorly (Fig. 20).

II. Tristomatidae, with two lateral, anteriorly-placed suckers. Oral


suckers are absent, a large posterior sucker is constant, and is often
armed with hooks (Fig. 22, C).

III. Polystomatidae, with, usually, two oral suckers and a posteriorly-


placed adhesive disc armed with suckers and hooks (Figs. 23 and
24).

IV. Gyrodactylidae (Fig. 29).

Habits and Structure of Ectoparasitic Trematodes.

I. Temnocephalidae.—These interesting forms, of which a good


account has lately been written by Haswell,[71] occur on the surface
(rarely in the branchial chamber) of fresh-water crayfish and crabs in
Australasia, the Malay Archipelago, Madagascar, and Chili. Others
have been found on the carapace of a fresh-water tortoise, and in
the branchial chamber of the mollusc Ampullaria from Brazil. Wood-
Mason discovered others, again, in bottles containing spirit-
specimens of Indian fish. Temnocephala is rarely more than a
quarter of an inch long, and looks like a minute Cephalopod or a
broad flattened Hydra. By the ventral sucker each species adheres
to its own particular host, the tentacles being used as an anterior
sucker for "looping" movements. The food, consisting of
Entomostraca, Rotifera, and Diatoms, is first swallowed whole by the
large pharynx (Fig. 20, ph), which can be protruded through the
ventrally-placed mouth, and is then received into a simple lobed
intestine (d). The skin, especially on the surface of the tentacles, is
provided here and there with patches of cilia borne by the cellular
epidermis,—the only undoubted case of external cilia occurring in an
adult Trematode. Minute rhabdites formed in special gland-cells,
occur plentifully on the tentacles, and are another distinctly
Turbellarian feature. The excretory system is peculiar (Fig. 21). Fine
ducts proceed from the various organs of the body, and open to the
exterior by means of a pair of contractile sacs placed on the dorsal
surface. Each sac is a single cell, and within it not one merely, but
several "flames," or bunches of rhythmically contractile cilia, are
present. These are placed on the course of excessively fine canals,
which perforate the protoplasm of this cell. The terminal branches of
the excretory canals end in branched cells, apparently devoid of
"flames."

The reproductive system is very similar to that of certain


Rhabdocoels. An armed penis and the female genital duct open into
a genital atrium, and this by a single aperture (♀, ♂, Fig. 20) to the
exterior. The fertilised ovum and yolk are enclosed in a stalked shell
formed in the uterus.

The interest and importance of the Temnocephalidae lies in the fact


that they are almost as much Turbellaria as Trematodes. In habits, in
the character of the skin, the muscular, digestive, and reproductive
systems, they find their nearest allies in Rhabdocoels (Vorticidae).
But in the excretory and nervous systems, the latter composed of
two dorsal, two lateral, and two ventral trunks all connected together
(Fig. 21), they are Tristomid Trematodes. Thus they may fitly connect
an account of the two great groups.

the Halibut. Nat. size. m, Mouth; ms, lateral suckers; ov, ovary;

II. Tristomatidae and III. Polystomatidae.[72]—The members of these
families are found on the body, or attached to the gills, of fresh-water
and marine fishes. The edible and inedible fish of our coasts have
each their particular ectoparasitic Trematodes; while the Minnows,
Sticklebacks, and Miller's Thumbs of streams and ponds are
attacked by Diplozoon, Gyrodactylus, and other forms. The aquatic
Amphibia also harbour a number. Polystomum integerrimum is
common in the bladder of Frogs, where it leads a practically aquatic
life. Other species of Polystomum inhabit the buccal and nasal
cavities of certain Chelonia, but naturally no terrestrial Vertebrates
are infested externally by these Trematodes. The blood and epithelia
of the host are sucked, and to this end the pharynx has frequently a
chitinous armature to aid in the abrasion or inflammation of the
tissues upon which the parasite feeds. In the case of a Sturgeon
attacked by Nitzschia elongata, a Tristomid, the mouth of the host
appeared to be highly inflamed by these attacks (v. Baer).

Fig. 23.—Octobothrium merlangi Kuhn, from the gills of the whiting, ×


8. int, Intestine; ms, mouth; sc suckers with chitinoid armature; yk
yolk-glands. (After v. Nordmann.)

The suckers, in the two families under consideration, vary in number


and complexity. There is always a powerful apparatus at the hinder
end of the body securing the Trematode firmly to the slimy body or
gills of its host, and, usually in the Polystomatidae, a pair of suckers
at the sides of the mouth accessory to the pumping action of the
pharynx. In Axine, and to a less extent in Octobothrium (Fig. 23), the
suckers are strengthened by a complex hingework of chitinoid bars
or hooks, which serve as insertions for the muscles of the suckers,
and thus increase their efficiency.

The mouth is invariably present just beneath the anterior end of the
body. It leads into a muscular, pumping pharynx (Fig. 24, ph), and
this into a bifurcated intestine which ends blindly. The two openings
of the excretory system lie on the dorsal surface (as in
Temnocephala), and the excretory canals branch through the
substance of the body, ending usually in "flame-cells." The nervous
system is highly developed, and resembles that of Temnocephala
(Fig. 21) in detail. Upon the brain one or even two pairs of eye-spots
are present in the larvae, and may persist throughout life. Tactile
setae occur in Sphyranura, a parasite of the North American
Amphibian Necturus, but a cellular epidermis is apparently rendered
impossible, perhaps from the nature of the mucus in which the body
is bathed, or to the attempts of the host to free itself from these
parasites; and hence an investing membrane is present, which
morphologically is either a modified epithelium, or a cuticle formed
by the glandular secretion of the parenchyma.

Frog, and seen from the ventral surface. The alimentary canal is

vitello-intestinalis (probably homologous with the Laurer's canal or

♀, common genital aperture. (Modified from Zeller.) × 8.

The reproductive organs of the Polystomatidae may be understood


from Figs. 24, 27, and 28. At the point of union of the oviduct (Fig.
28, ovd), the vitelline ducts (yd), and the commencement of the
uterus (ut), a slender duct is given off which opens into the intestine,
and is known as the "vitello-intestinal canal" (Fig. 24, dvi; Fig. 28,
gic). This duct has apparently the same relations as the "canal of
Laurer" of Digenea,[73] except only that the latter opens to the
exterior directly. In connexion with this vitello-intestinal canal a
"vagina" is present, which in Polystomum and most Monogenea is
paired (Fig. 24, vag), in Diplozoon and in one or two other forms,
however, unpaired. The vagina receives the penis of another
individual during copulation (Fig. 26), and does not appear to have
an homologue in the liver-fluke or other Digenea.

Life-Histories of the Polystomatidae.[74]—Polystomum


integerrimum. After the mutual fertilisation of two individuals, the
eggs are laid in the water by the protrusion of the body of the parent
through the urinary aperture of the Frog. About 1000 eggs are laid in
the spring at the rate of 100 a day for ten days. After about six
weeks, the larva (.3 mm. long) hatches out, and swims about freely
by means of bands of large ciliated cells (Fig. 26, A); but if it does
not meet with a tadpole within twenty-four hours, it dies. Should it,
however, encounter one, the larva creeps along it in a looping
fashion until it approaches the opercular spout, or opening of the
branchial chamber, on the left side; into this it darts suddenly, fixes
itself, and throws off its cilia. Here it remains eight or ten weeks,
feeding, increasing in size, and forming the suckers from behind
forwards. At the time of the tadpole's metamorphosis, the young
Polystomum works its way down the pharynx into the oesophagus
and along the intestine, till it reaches and enters the opening of the
bladder. Three years afterwards it becomes mature.

Sometimes, however, Polystomum experiences another fate. The


larvae settling down on the external gills of a young, recently-
hatched tadpole, and obtaining a richer supply of blood than in the
previous case, grow far more rapidly, so that in five weeks they are
mature, although still in the branchial chamber of the tadpole. They
do not then wander into the alimentary canal, but usually, having
discharged their eggs, die at the time of the tadpole's
metamorphosis. Still more interesting, however, is the difference
between the genitalia in these and in the normal Polystomum. In
contrast with the latter, these possess (1) one testis and a
rudimentary penis; and their spermatozoa differ in structure and
shape from those of the normal Polystomum. (2) The vaginae are
absent, a fact connected with the absence of a functional copulatory
organ. (3) In compensation for the loss of these, a duct connects the
single testis and the point of union of oviduct and yolk-ducts, and by
this self-fertilisation occurs. (4) The uterus is absent; the "ootype" or
duct into which the shell-gland opens, communicating directly with
the exterior. In (1) and (4) these aberrant Polystomum resemble P.
ocellatum, from the Tortoise Emys europaea.

Diplozoon paradoxum.—The life-history of Diplozoon is unique. For


whereas the larvae of most animals grow up, each into a single
adult, in Diplozoon, of the few larvae that survive the dangers of their
free-swimming existence, only those become mature which
conjugate permanently with another individual. But although there
are thus only half as many adult Diplozoon as there were
conjugating larvae (or Diporpa, as they were called when they were
considered distinct forms), yet the total number of eggs produced is
probably as great as if each larva became individually mature.

Stickleback. (After v. Nordmann.) × 125. emb, Embryo.

Diplozoon paradoxum lays its eggs on the gills of the Minnow, which
it frequently infests in great numbers. The ovum divides rapidly at the
expense of the yolk-cells, and in a fortnight a larva (.2 mm. long) of
the shape and complexity shown in Fig. 27, B, hatches out, which,
however, succumbs if it does not meet with a Minnow in five or six
hours. Should it survive, a dorsal papilla, a median ventral sucker,
and a second pair of posterior suckers develop. Thus the Diporpa
stage is attained. These Diporpa may acquire a third and even a
fourth pair of suckers, and continue to live three months, but they
only develop and mature their reproductive organs, if each
conjugates with another Diporpa (Fig. 27, C, D), and this only occurs
in a small percentage of instances. Each grasps the dorsal papilla of
the other by its own ventral sucker, thus undergoing a certain
amount of torsion. Where the two bodies touch, complete fusion
occurs, and, as shown in Fig. 28, the united Diporpa (or Diplozoon,
as the product is now called) decussate, each forming one limb of
the X-shaped Diplozoon, within which the two sets of complex
genitalia develop (Fig. 28).

IV. Gyrodactylidae.—Gyrodactylus (Fig. 29), the structure of which is


in many ways peculiar, produces one large egg at a time. An
embryo, in which the large and smaller hooks of the adhesive disc
can be seen (emb), develops from this egg while still within the body
of the parent, and may give rise to yet another generation within
