636 DISEASE IN WILD MAMMALS AND BIRDS 
The foregoing has had to do ^vith parasitism from 
the standpoint of the host. The next phase, that of the 
individual parasite itself, interests more the strict parasi- 
tologist than the general zoologist; however, both will 
see how it may have a very practical value.

Incidence According to Paeasitic Groups. 
Inasmuch as it has been physically impossible to de- 
termine specifically and classify efficiently the accumu- 
lations of verminous material from our autopsies I will 
not be able to tabulate parasitic groups even as closely as 
I did in the '' animal host " table. Nevertheless sufficient 
has been done to illuminate in part certain phases of 
parasitism and to prevent a summary dismissal of the 
subject. Reviewing our cross-index I have distributed 
the data into the following Table 26, the parasites being
