![much as I represented it in 1864; but in the present work I cease to speak of the Entozoa as in any sense the zoological equivalent of the Helmintha. I prefer to employ the term Entozoa in its popular and wider acceptation. It conveniently stands thus, moreover, in direct contradiction to the term Ectozoa. As this work treats of parasites only, I purposely refrain from dealing with the Turbellarians, and certain other creatures usually classed with Vermes. The vague term worms, so often employed as the equivalent of Helmintha, is misleading in many ways. I should like to see it adopted only when speak- ing of the Annelids proper. It would still have a sufficiently wide application, seeing that it would include Leeches, Earth- worms, Naids, Tubed-worms, Sea-lobworms, Sea-mice, Nereids, and a host of other setigerous species. Notwithstanding the remote connection subsisting between intestinal worms and worms properly so called, the notion that an intimate relation subsists between the lumbricoid helminths and earth- worms will probably never entirely disappear from the popular or even from the professional mind. Since one of the principal features of this treatise is to afford a handy means of reference to the rich and extended literature of parasitism, I here subjoin a list of general and systematic treatises. To most of these I shall constantly refer. Full special references to detached memoirs will appear in the biblio- graphies scattered throughout the body of the work.
