ON A NEW PARASITE 

 Specimens of a parasite belonging to the Siphunculata were collected from one or two 

 pups found dead. Through the kindness of Miss Theresa Clay of the British Museum 

 I am able to state that they belong to the genus Antarctophirus and resemble the species 

 microchir, but it is considered by Miss Clay that in the absence of material from the 

 type host, Phocarctos hookeri, my specimens should not be definitely allotted to the 

 species named.
