CLASSIFICATION OF PARASITES OF CARNIVORES 
In the following classification of the parasites reported for carnivores 
(pp. 923 to 1031), the arrangement given in Bulletins 140, 142, 148, 
150, 152, 155, 159 is taken as basis; key characters and diagnoses down 
to additional genera reported for carnivores but not included in the 
earlier bulletins are inserted and collateral groups have been placed 
in footnotes. 
Under genera, the specific names are arranged alphabetically and 
the hosts are cited for which the species have been reported. 
By following the dagger (f) preceding the specific names (indicating 
that the species has been reported for man), the possible relations of 
the various hosts to the diseases of man can be traced.
