Abstract
ONE of the most interesting and important groups of the animal kingdom is that of the parasitic worms or helminths; interesting from the point of view of pure science on account of the intricate and varied nature of their life-histories and biological relationships, and important from the effects which they produce on the health of man, domestic animals, and cultivated and useful plants. In the present article a summary is attempted of the results of modern research on the helminths attacking man alone.
