Extract

This paper forms a preliminary account of the occurrence of some helminths parasitic in sheep and pigs in South-Eastern England. The rocks of the Wye district are mainly Cretaceous, while Romney Marsh, with its extensive sheep population, is alluvial. Earlier workers have already considered certain helminthic parasites of this region. The present writer uses Morgan's technique. Thirteen helminths parasitic in the gut of sheep and lambs are listed with notes, and a record is made of some other observations, including the identification of Ascaris lumbricoides and Œsophagostomum dentatum from swine.
