An account is given of the effects of infection in the digestive gland ofMelanoides tuberculatus (Muller) by a monostome larval trematode. The distinction into four types of cells of the tubules of digestive gland as seen in the normal uninfected gland is lost due to this infection. The columnar cells become squarish and may even change into a nucleated syncitial mass. Loss of calcium globules and cell granules together with the disintegration of the cell would impair the normal metabolic activity of the snail.
