Male. Body, length 1.70 mm., width .70 mm.; head, length 

 .59 mm., width .57 mm. Considerably smaller than female, color- 

 ation much the same. Last segment of abdomen rounded and 

 clear; genitalia showing quite prominentl^^ 



This form bears some resemblance to D. cursor Nitzsch, but 

 differs in size and in various other characters. 



Many specimens taken from Syrnium nebulosum at Colum- 

 bus, O., by Professor Hine. European writers refer to a form 

 under this name, but Professor Kellogg, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 

 Vol. XXII, p. 48, says, "neither Osborn nor I have been able to 

 find the original record for this species." Hence the figure and 

 description given in this paper. 



This work was done mostly in the Zoological Laboratory of 

 Ohio State University under the directoin of Professor Herbert 

 Osborn, whose kindly assistance is hereby gratefully acknowl- 

 edged. Thanks are due also to Professor Jas. S. Hine for access 

 to his collection of Mallophaga.

This glass sand quarry, about one half mile west of Toboso, 

 on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, is conveniently reached by 

 traction line from Newark to Zanesville, leaving the car at the 

 Black Hand station. The quarry, located in a cliff bank on the 

 south wall of the Licking which joins the Muskingum at Zanes- 

 ville, is owned by the Edward H. Everett Company of Newark, 

 Ohio. The sand produced is used chiefiy by the American 

 Bottle Company of the same place. This company manufact- 

 ures annually about 1,000,000 gross of amber and green bottles.^ 



The rock used here for glass sand belongs to the Black Hand 

 formation of the Waverly series, Mississippian period. A section
