Excerpt from On the Destruction of Fish and Other Aquatic Animals by Internal Parasites This communication is not intended to be an exhaustive memoir. The subject is a wide one, yet it may with truth be said that few persons are aware of its importance. As regards man and the higher animals, physicians and other professional persons have a direct interest in con ducting researches amongst the parasites; nevertheless, it is surprising to what an extent mere prejudice has operated to prevent labourers from entering into this instructive field of comparative pathology.
