Docophorus fusiformis Denny. 



One male from Tringa ptilocnemis, Norton Sound. This 

 specimen agrees with those of Denny and Piaget in having- the 

 clypeus emarginate. There are few records of this species, 



in spite of its apparently wide distribution. 







Docophorus icterodes Nitzsch. 

 Four specimens from Arctonetta fischeri. Duck-egg Island. 



Docophorus lari Denny. 



Five specimens from Rissa tridactyla pollicaris, no locality ; 

 one from Tringa ptilocnemis, Dexter Golofnin Bay, Norton 



Sound. 



Docophorus sp. juv. 



A specimen belonging to the platyclypeatus group, but too 

 young to be specifically determined, from Lagopns lagopus, 

 Norton Sound. 



Nirmus complexivus Kellogg and Chapman. 

 Numerous specimens from Tringa ptilocnemis, one from 

 Tringa maculata, Norton Sound ; also a single specimen, prob- 

 ably a straggler, from Perisorins canadensis, same locality. 



Nirmis eaprepes Kellogg and Chapman. 

 Seven specimens from Arenaria interpres, Norton Sound. 



Nirmus lineolatus var. atrimarginatus Kellogg. 

 One specimen from Rissa tridactyla pollicaris, Norton 

 Sound. 



Nirmus infectus Kellogg and Kawana var. connexus var. nov. 



Two males and two females from Phalaropus lobatits, Nor- 

 ton Sound. Differs from typical infectus in its relatively 

 longer head, concolorous legs, and large dorsal blotches. The 

 length of the head i? .40 mm., width .24 mm. Ninnus infectus, 

 known only from a single female from Crymophilus fiilicarius. 

 (Pi. Barrow, Alaska) is very close to interntptus of Piaget, 

 from Flialacrocora.r carbo, and may prove to be only a variety 

 of this species.
