ResumoThe larval trematode fauna of North America is only incompletely known. Previous to the work of Cort (1914) there were only scattered fragmentary records; after him Faust alone has contributed much in this field. The present writer has made an attempt to add to the knowledge of the morphology and relationships of one particular group, the furcocercous larvae; this investigation is timely in view of the renewed interest taken in the forked-tailed cercariae by virtue of their relation to schistosomiasis.
