226 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



insect. These he has since received, and in May of the 

 present year I had a few more from Black-faced Sheep on 

 the western Fentlands. 



Professor Neumann has now described this new species 

 of Anoplura, to which he has given the name of Hamatopinus 

 ovillus, in the Revtie Veterinaire for August 1907, pp. 520- 

 524, where full particulars will be found. It is not a little 

 remarkable that a parasite of so well known a domestic 

 animal as the sheep should have remained unknown to 

 science till now. No species of Hcematopinus has hitherto 

 been recorded as occurring on the sheep. Doubtless 

 H. ovillus has reached New Zealand from this country by 

 importation on its host. The length of my specimens, one 

 of which is figured on p. 225, varies from 2 to 2^ mm.
