Genus Eurymetopus. 



EURYMETOPUS BREVIS Dufour. 



DuFOUR, Am. Soc. France, iv, p. 674, pi. xxxi, fig. 3, 1835. — Kellogg, 

 List of Mallophaga, p. 64, 1899. 



One male from Arenaria interpres from Narboro. This large and 

 unmistakable species is peculiar to the albatrosses having hitherto been 

 taken from Diomedea exulans^ D. albairus^ D. nigripes and D. 

 brachyura in various parts of the world. Specimens have also been 

 recorded by Kellogg from Fuhnarus and Puffinus from Monterey 

 Bay, California. It is probably correct to regard as stragglers all 

 specimens collected from any other birds than albatrosses. 



Genus Giebelia. 



GIEBELIA MIRABILIS Kellogg. 



Kellogg, New Mallophaga, i, p. 138, pi. xi, figs. 7 and 8, 1896. — Kellogg, 

 List of Mallophaga, p. 64, 1899. 



Two females from a Puffinus subalaris from Albemarle. Previ- 

 ously recorded from Ptffititis griseus^ P. gavia^ P. creatopus^ P. 

 tenuirostris^ P. buUeri., and, as a straggler probably, from Dio?nedea 

 albatrus ; all the hosts from Monterey Bay, California.
