PARASITES OF ANIMALS. 59 



Lists of the Parasites of Man and Domestic Animals. 



The number of species of these internal parasites now 

 known is upwards of 100. Therefore it will be impossible, at 

 this time, to do more than enumerate the species, with their 

 principal modes of occurrence, and then describe more fully 

 some of the most important kinds, with their effects and rem- 

 edies, so far as space will admit. It is hoped that the lists 

 will serve as a key or index for those who wish to pursue the 

 subject further, in the more extensive works upon this subject.
