Abstract

In spite of the fact that frogs form a common subject of biological examination and experiment it is curious that, in this country, there have been few reports on the helminth parasites with which they are so frequently infected. We owe practically all our knowledge of the Trematode parasites of amphibians to continental zoologists. The early researches of von Frölich (1789–1802) and Rudolphi (1809) followed, a hundred years later, by those of von Linstow (1877–1890) and Looss (1894–1901), are responsible for the greater part of the existing information. Amongst others who have devoted some attention to the subject may be mentioned the names of Dujardin (1845), Diesing (1836–1858), Gastaldi (1854) and Olsson (1876).
