INTRODUCTION 
Division of labor. — In the present bulletin, which represents part 
8 of the host catalogs, assistants have specialized in the preparation 
of the manuscript as follows: 
PROTOZOA, Lucy Reardon, M. A.; TREMATODA and CESTODA, MabeUe 
Orleman Nolan, A. M.; NEMATODA and ACANTHOCEPHALA, Asenath 
Graves McKnight, A.B.; and Marion M. Farr, A. M.; ARACHNOIDEA, 
Eugenia CuviUier, A. B.; INSECT A, Benjamin J. Collins, M. S.; CARNIVORA, 
Clara Edith Baker, A. M. 
In the present article, the key to the hosts (carnivores) is marked 
with the sign # ; the other entries (printed in double column where 
possible, otherwise with extra indention) refer to the parasites. 
The key to the hosts is inserted in order to meet an urgent desid- 
eratum in laboratories in which carnivores are studied in respect to 
their parasitic infections and in which they are used as experimental 
animals. The systematic literature on carnivores is not readily 
accessible to parasitologists and bacteriologists and the older nomen- 
clature of the order is so confused that it is frequently difficult for 
anyone except a specialist in mammalogy to classify these animals. 
Dr. Gerrit S. Miller has kindly aided us in tracing various species 
and references involving obscure records. 
How to use the catalog.- — See pages 1-4, Bulletin 140, Key-Catalog

tinuous with that of Bulletin 159.
