The commonest fresh-water snail here is Physa (Isidora) tropica and a preliminary examination of a few specimens of this mollusc from Muizenberg Lake revealed abundant stages of fluke very closely resembling those of the liver-fluke. Additional specimens procured from the neighbourhood also afforded abundant material of the same stages. The only difficulty in accepting this as a solution of the problem was that, though placed in the most favourable conditions, the free swimming form (cercaria) was never observed to encyst.". …
