I. INTRODUCTION. 



Trematode infections, next to the protozoan diseases, are the most 

 important parasitic conditions which must be met by medical men in 

 the Philippine Islands. 



The order Malacocotylca is a very large one, containing many species, 

 but of these only a comparatively small number are known to infect 

 man; those which are parasitic for human beings, compiled from Stiles's 

 publication, are shown in Table No. 1, page 31. They represent -i 

 families, 10 genera or collective groups, and 15 species. Of this number 

 only about 8 species are sufficiently common in man to be of great
