oning- the productions of his pen which have appeared in 
amphlet form, or in his own journal, have established Dr. 
leming’s position as one of the foremost contributors, and 
e might also say one of the most prominent benefactors of 
eterinary science of the present time. And in the present 
istance, in his selection for translation of t his second edition 
f Neumann’s important work, he has shown once more 
iow earnest and constant is his desire to benefit his English- 
oeaking brethren by enabling them to take advantage of the 
iscoveries and experiences of the best authors and practi- 
oners of other tongues and countries. As long ago as 1876, 
salizing the need of such, Dr. Fleming had contemplated 
ad commenced an original work on the same subject, but 
aving been prevented from completing it by other engage- 
lents the design was relinquished. But not so his interest 
) the subject, and the translation now under notice is the 
vidence of his zeal in the studies which it embodies and 
lucidates. 
Beginning with an introduction comprising a general con- 
deration of the subject of parasites, and describing particu- 
trly the degrees and modes of parasitism, and the develop- 
lents, symptoms and prognosis of parasitic diseases, with 
heir prophylactic and curative treatment, etc., he enters 
nmediately upon the regional consideration of parasites, 
'eating in order of those of the skin, of the digestive appara- 
;is, of the serous membranes, of the respiratory organs, of 
le circulatory system, of the muscles, connective, tissue and 
ones ; of the nervous centers and the organs of sense, and 
istly, of the genito-urinary organs. The order followed in 
lese descriptions is the same in each case, giving the history 
f the subject, a description of the parasite, the symptoms 
nd lesions by which they are detected, their prophylaxy and 
leir treatment. No less than three hundred and sixty-four 
r ell drawn figures illustrated the well-written text, and the 
lanner in which the book is brought out is characteristic of 
ie publishers, the reliable old house of Baillere, Tindall & 
'ox, of London.
