Abstract
1. The distribution of glycogen and lipids in three oxyuroids (Aspiculuris tetraptera, Enterobius vermicularis and Syphacia obvelata) is described and found to be similar to that in ascarids and other oxyuroids.2. Evidence is presented for the presence of both polysaccharides (possibly glycogen) and lipids in the cuticle.3. It is suggested that the chitinous layer of the egg-shell of A. tetraptera contains phospholipids in association with proteins.4. The distribution of phospholipids is described and it is suggested that their role is mainly structural.I am grateful to Dr P. Tate for advice and encouragement and to Dr D. L. Lee for much useful discussion and advice.
