in 1908 and 1910 on the parasites of the domestic animals in Burma also deserve
a passing reference. In their memorable work Stiles and Goldberger in 1910
described several amphistomes of domestic animals in India and Ceylon.
Mention must also be made of Gaiger's publication in 1910 of the check-list of
the parasites of domestic animals in India and its subsequent revision in 1915.
Mitter in 1912 recorded Homalogaster sp. and Nicoll described Styphlodora
najae and Xenopharynx solus from the Indian cobra. Southwell in 1913 worked
out the trematodes of the Pearl Banks of Ceylon and described Isoparochis
hypselobagri from the air-bladder of Wallago attu. Polystomum kachugae
and Styphlodora persimilis were recorded in 1914 by Stewart and Nicoll res-
pectively.
Lane in 1915 described Artyfechinostomum sufrartyfex from a girl in Assam.
Opisthorchis noverca was recorded by Stephens in 1916. Agamodistomes in
anophiline mosquitoes were demonstrated by Sinton and Soparkar in 1917.
Southwell and Prashad in 1918 recorded a few trematodes of fishes in Bengal.
Sewell in 1920 gave a detailed account of Mesocoelium sociale and in 1922
recorded Leucochloridium assamense. Jackson in 1921 described Fasciola
gigantica from cattle in Burma. Vevers in 1923 described Paragonimus
compactus from the Indian Mongoose. In his valuable monograph entitled
A revision of the Amphistomata of Mammals Mapplestone dealt with
several species of amphistomes from this country. Railliet in 1924 proposed
the names Paramphistomum birmiense and P. microon for Amphistome numbers
2 and 3 of Evans and Rennie, 1908. Bhalerao in 1924 gave descriptions of
Eurytrema dajii and Testifrondosa cristata from food mammals of Rangoon.
Chandler in 1925 worked out the parasites of cats in Calcutta and recorded
flukes from man which were identified by the writer as Isoparorchis hypsel-
obagri. Since the year 1926 greater enthusiasm was displayed in the study
of the trematode fauna of this country by several Indian workers. In a
series of papers published in 1926 Bhalerao worked out the flukes of the house-
crow, water-snake, bat and the frog in Burma and as a result of this several
new forms were discovered. He also published a list of the trematodes from
Burma. The same year Chandler discovered eggs of Schistosoma incognitum
in human faeces. Mehra and Negi and Gulati described Tremiorchis ranarum
and Paragonimus edwardsi respectively. In 1927 were described the species
Opisthorchis pedicellata, O. dendriticum, Mesocoelium meggitti, Strigea annandali
and Neodiplostomum kashmirensis by Verma, Morgan, Bhalerao and Faust. In
1928 Northup in Rangoon worked on the trematodes of Chiroptera and Mehra
and Negi on those of the frog. Mehra also described Ommatobrephus lobatum.
In 1929 Bhalerao studied the species of the genus Paradistomum in Burmese
reptiles, Narain and Das recorded the species of the same genus from India and
Phadke and Gulati described Pachytrema hewletti. In 1930 Baer, Nagaty,
Jordan, Verma, Moghe and Thapar added in some measure to our knowledge
of trematode parasites of this country. In 1931 Bhalerao and Mehra worked
out the flukes of a few reptiles in India. Chatterji in Rangoon proved ex-
perimentally that the adults of Cercariae indicae XXVI Sewell, 1922 are
Paramphistomum sp., Bhalerao assigned the species Artyfechinostomum sufrar-
tyfex Lane, 1915, to the genus Pryphostomum and thus finally settled the con-
troversy in regard to the taxonomy of this fluke. He also pointed out that,
