SOME KECOEDS OF SCOTTISH S1PHONAPTERA. 

 BY JAMES WATERSTON, B.D., B. Sc. 



As a preliminary to drawing rip a " Census " of the Siphonaptera 

 of Scotland, I have intended for some time to publish notes of species 

 (taken mainly in Shetland) added to my collection since the close of 

 1909. But through the great kindness of the Hon. N. Charles Roths- 

 child, M.A., who has supplied a list of Scottish Fleas in the Municipal 

 Museum, Warrington ; in the British Museum ; and in his own rich 

 collection, it has been possible to enlarge considerably the scope of 

 the paper at first contemplated. 



From the MS. which Mr. Rothschild has supplied it appears that 

 in Warrington Museum the following Scottish-taken fleas are repre- 

 sented : — Ceratophyllus penicilliger ; Ctenoplithalmus agyrtes ; Hystri- 

 clwpsylla talpse. In the British Museum there are found : — Spilopsyllus 

 cuniculi ; Ceratophyllus scmrorum, C. penicilliger, C.farreni, C. hirun- 

 dinis, C. columbte ; Ctenopldhalmus agyrtes; Hystrichopsylla talpse. 

 And in addition to the above eight species Mr. Rothschild has from 

 Scotland : — Pulex irritans ; Archseopsylla erinacei ; Ctenocephalus 

 canis ; Ceratophyllus fasciatus, C. gallinee, C. garei, C. rustims, G. styx, 

 G. galltnulee, G. vagabundus, C. borealis, C. rothschildi ; Gtenophthalrmis 

 bisoctodentatus ; Doratopsylla dasycnemus ; Paleeopsylla sorecis, P.
