Evidence from recent studies strongly supports the theory that reproduction in the germinal sacs of the digenetic trematodes is a germinal lineage, in which multiplication is a polyembryony of the fertilized ovum. This view is supported not only by the instances in which it has been demonstrated that the germinal cells in sporocysts and rediae have the diploid number of chromosome, but also by the numerous studies in which the cells of the germinal line have been traced and their relations to the somatic cells has been determined both in living and sectioned material. Numerous recent studies have shown the mechanisms of multiplication of the germinal cells in the sporocysts and rediae of different trematode groups. In the amphistomes no persistent centers of multiplication of germinal cells are formed and multiplication is limited to early stages of the development of sporocysts and rediae. This mechanism produces a limited number of embryos and is considered to be primitive. In most groups in which the secondary germinal sacs are rediae germinal masses are present at the posterior end of the body cavity which persist as centers of multiplication of germinal cells throughout the life of the rediae. In the plagiorchioids there is extensive multiplication of germinal cells in the mother sporocyst which produces large numbers of daughter sporocysts. In each daughter after a very limited division of the germinal cells, a floating germinal mass is produced in which multiplication of germinal cells continues throughout the life of the sporocyst. This mechanism produces very large numbers of cercariae. In the strigeoids numerous floating germinal masses are present in the mother and daughter sporocysts which also produce large numbers of embryos. In the spirorchiids and schistosomes no germinal masses are formed, but the germinal cells which are attached to the inside of the wall of the body cavities of the sporocysts continue to divide throughout the life of the infection to produce large numbers of embryos.
