The collections of lice Vliscussed in this paper were made in Myerstown, 

 r.ebanon County, Pennsylvania, and vicinity. All birds as will be seen, are 

 migratory birds except one, the English sparrow. 



*i .\ list of species found on a number of birds is given herewith. There was 

 absolutely no straggling of lice from one bird to another as might be the case 

 if the birds were placed in one bag. These lice were collected in the field, 

 that is, as soon as the bird was procured, they were picked and preserved in 

 vials of alcohol. Consequently, there was no danger of migration of parasites 

 from one bird to another.
