Several footnote markers have been inserted where they were missing from the text. The _very_ long table of contents has somewhat inconsistent levels of indentation that don’t correspond accurately with headings used in the text. Some illustrations have been moved nearer to the relevant text and their locations may differ from those specified in the list of illustrations. A few illustrations that lacked an identifying number have been correctly numbered. The book contains extensive sections of quoted text but these are identified by square brackets rather than by traditional quotation marks. Two different sized fonts were used to print the original body text, a feature that is replicated in this transcription. Several short passages of text were inserted by the printer at the last minute, and these are enclosed in lightly shaded text boxes. A list of spelling corrections and inconsistencies is appended at the end of the book. THE ANIMAL PARASITES OF MAN BY H. B.

NEW YORK WILLIAM WOOD AND COMPANY MCMXX. PREFACE. The English edition of Braun’s “Die Tierischen Parasiten des Menschen,” produced in 1906, being out of print, the publishers decided to issue another edition based on the translation of Braun’s fourth German edition, which appeared in 1908, to which had been added an appendix, by Dr. Otto Seifert on Treatment, etc. When the work was considered with a view to a new edition, it was found that a vast amount of new matter had to be incorporated, numerous alterations essential for bringing it up to date were necessitated, and many omissions were inevitable. The result is that parts of the book have been rewritten, and, apart from early historical references, the work of Braun has disappeared. This is more particularly the case with the Protozoa section of the present work. The numerous additions, due to the great output of scientific literature and other delays in publication, have led to the book being somewhat less homogeneous than we desired, and have necessitated the use of appendices to allow of the presentation of new facts only recently ascertained. Many new illustrations have been added or substituted for older, less detailed ones. Some of these new figures were drawn specially for this book. The first section, on the Protozoa, has been written by Dr. Fantham, there being little of...
