This study was made for the better information of the male reproductive system on the meat-type drake, Cherry Belly X White Golden. The epithelium of ductules of epididymal region and deferent duct were observed histologically and histochemically with the progress of their development. India-ink absorbability on the luminal epithelium was also investigated after the administration of India-ink. The results are as follows; 1. Rete testis and various round ductules in immature form appeared in epididymis within 6 weeks after hatching, and simple cuboidal and simple columnar epithelium were found in the epithelia of the ductules within 8 weeks after hatching. Larger ductules were found on epididymal surface which was in the developing stage near to the immature efferent ductule. From 10th to 20th week, various ductules appeared in epididymis, and developing form of efferent ductules were much more increased on epididymal surface. The luminal epithelium of the ductules were composed of ciliated simple columnar and pseudostratified ciliated columnar cells. At the same time, deferent duct appeared. From the 21th week, various ductules in epididymis became abruptly matured. Lumen of rete testis was lined by simple squamous or simple cuboidal epithelium, and that of efferent ductules, having many folds and being larger than any others were lined by pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium in which ciliated columnar cells, non-ciliated cells(clear cells) and basal cells were noted. Connecting tubules of star shaped lumen were composed of pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium in which ciliated columnar cells, nonciliated cells, and basal cells were observed. The luminal surface of epididymal ducts was smooth and has thick pseudostratified columnar epithelium which was composed of high columnar cells and basal cells. From 26th week after hatching, sperm pooling was started in various ductules. 2. From 4th to 10th week, simple cuboidal epithelium of deferent duct transformed to simple columnar epithelium with the progress of aging. At the basement of epithelium, clear round cells were noted. From 12th to 20th week, high columnar cells with enlongated nucleus were noted on the luminal border of deferent ducts, forming folds of pseuclostratified columnar epithelium. From 20th week, the deferent duct started to have septa in it's lumen and composed mainly of pseudostratified columnar epithelium, and round cells disappeared. From 20th week, the lumen diameter of deferent duct became wider with the progress of aging, but there was no difference among the values of lumen diameter in upper, middle, and lower part of deferent ducts. At 26th week, the pooling period of sperms in deferent ducts, the lumen diameter became rapidly widen, especially in the lower part of deferent ducts. Thickness of muscular layer of ductus deferens showed gradual growth within 24 weeks but did abrupt thickening from 26th week. 3. Saliva resistant PAS granules were dotted on the top of nucleus in efferent ductules epithelium but the amount of the granules were little in the connecting ductules's epithelium. The granules reactive to acid phosphatase were abundant in the some epithelial cells of efferent ductules and connecting ductules, especially above the nucleus of cells. The granules reactive to alkaline phosphatase were noted on the luminal border of efferent ductules. Parts of free border of efferent ductules and middle portion of deferent ducts were stained slightly by alcian blue technique. India ink granules were found mainly in the epithelium of efferent ductules but were few in that of connecting ductules.

We describe 2 echinostome species recovered from an Eastern cattle egret, Bubulcus ibis coromandus, from Cheongju-si (city), Chungcheongbuk-do (province), Korea. Total 72 Pegosomum bubulcum specimens were recovered from the bile duct. They were $7,566{\times}2,938{\mu}m$ in average size and had 27 collar spines with vitelline extension from anterior 1/3 level of the esophagus to mid-level of the posterior testis as characteristic features. Total 9 specimens of Nephrostomum ramosum were recovered in the small intestines of the bird. They were ribbon-shaped, $11,378{\times}2,124{\mu}m$ in average size, and morphologically variable in some organs, i.e., the number of collar spines (47-50), the shape of ovary and testes, and the extension of vitelline follicles. These morphological variations observed in a single host indicated that these features are not critical for the classification of Nephrostomum species and thus were reconsidered taxonomically as synonym of N. ramosum. This study is the first report documenting and describing both flukes and their associated genera in Korea.

제주도 수림리 해역에서 어획된 펄닭새우, Linuparus trigonus를 재료로 1976년 2월부터 1977년 1월까지 생식세포형성과정 및 생식주기의 변화과정과 산란후 난내배발생과정 등을 조직학적 방법에 의하여 조사하였고, 초기부화 유생의 특징을 형태학적 면으로 고찰하였다. 1. 정소는 세장된 맹관상구조로서 좌우 대칭이며 중앙전부에서 융합되어 H자형을 나타낸다. 외측은 결제성직물모에 의해 싸여 있고, 내부에는 단관상인 정세관이 간곡되어 존재하며 소량이 간질이 분포한다. 난소는 1쌍이 맹관상엽으로 구성되어 정소와 마찬가지로 중앙전부에서 양엽이 융합되어 있다. 난소는 이중결제성조직모에 의하여 구분된 몇 개의 난낭으로 구성되어 있다. 2. 정세관의 생식상피상에서 정원세포의 분열상은 연중 관찰되고 있으며, 부분적으로는 계절과 관계없이 점진적으로 정자형성과정이 진행되고 있다. 따라서 소수이긴 하나 정자 역시 연중 관찰된다. 3. 초기난원세포들은 난낭내에 풍부히 분포하는 조직성간충직으로부터 영양공급을 받으며, 난모세포는 세포질이 풍부한 여포세포에 의하여 성장된다. 산란은 난소내에서 완전히 성숙분열을 마치고 반감된 염색체를 가진 완숙난자가 된 후 산란된다. 4. 생식주기는 9월부터 12월까지의 분열증식기, 1월부터 3월까지의 성장기, 4월부터 5월까지의 성숙분열기 및 6월부터 8월까지의 완숙기로 구분할 수 있으며 산란기는 5월부터 시작하여 8월말까지초 그 성기는 7월말부터 8월초순으로 간주된다. 5. 배발생은 표할로서 배반역의 세포밀집구로부터 원구가 형성되며, 이곳에서 배엽의 분화가 시작된다. 중배엽형성은 배반역에서 분화된 중내배엽모세포로부터 기원된다. 6. 내배엽형성은 중내배엽모세포 이외 난황낭 상방에서 엽열법으로 분화되어 온 것이 있고 이들내배엽이 중장형성에 관여하는 것 같다. 7. 펄닭새우의 제1기 유생은 체장 및 각 부속피의 형태학적 특징면에서 Scyllaridae과의 유생과는 물론이고, 같은 Palinuridae과의 Panulirus 속의 제1기 Phyllosoma 유생과도 많은 형태적 상이점이 있어 본종의 분류학적 재검토가 필요하다고 생각된다.
