adequately classified by Jordan in Smart's Insects of Medical Importance. 

 The external morphology of the flea is admirably dealt with by 

 Snodgrass, 1945 (see below). With regard to the fauna of Britain, the 

 most up-to-date paper is still that of Rothschild published in 191 5, but 

 shortly a section by F. G. A. M. Smit dealing with fleas will appear in 

 the series Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects, published by 

 the Royal Entomological Society of London. This will save the 

 unfortunate beginner a hunt through the papers Hsted in biblio- 

 graphies and a search through the Zoological Record for British records. 

 Feather hce (Mallophaga) : There is no satisfactory classification of 

 the feather Hce in existence. The best account of their biology will be 

 found in Hopkins' paper which deals principally with the Mallophaga 

 of mammals. It has an excellent bibliography.
