Abstract
IT is rare indeed to find a text-book of general or economic zoology which treats of the parasitic worms without introducing some errors, often gross errors, although in dealing with the other phyla it may be strictly accurate. This, in the past, has been, in part at least, due to the fact that no good modern text-book on helminthology has been available. With the appearance of Dr. Baylis's work on the subject, that excuse is removed. In a matter of 300 pages, the author, briefly and concisely, provides such short descriptions of the genera and species of helminths of man, the domestic mammals and birds, as will, with the aid of the illustrations, enable the reader to obtain at least an approximate determination of most of the parasites which he is likely to meet.
