3 examples in all from the same host "Regenpfeifer?" (Charadrius 

 hiaticula) as follows: 



a) ? Gjanoyri, 19./8. 1912. 



b) $ and inini., ibid., Aug. 1912. K. Scheeiber leg. 



These $? correspond, we believe, with examples taken in Shet- 

 land on the same host. 



C. ochraceum Nitzsch is said to occur on Ck. hiaticula but we have 

 never feit confident in so^ determining our material, which is not 

 yet worked out critically. Nor does it seem advisable to venture an 

 opinion on an examination of one sex only. 



Gen. Meuopoit Nitzsch (1818). 



Menopon crocatufti Nitzsch (1818). 



M. ci-ocahim Nitzsch, in: Giebel, Ins. Epiz., p. 295 (1874). 

 — PiAGET, Les Pediculines, p. 475, tab. 39, fig. 3 (1880). 



4 (^c^, 13 $$, 5 imm. Haematopus ostralegus (3 expl.). 



Langesand, Gjanoyri, Strömnges, 3., 13., 15./8. 1912. K. Scheei-

^, 6 $?, 2 imm. Numenius phaeopus. 



Grönhölm b. Strömnses (Strömö), 12,/8. 1912. K. Schreiber leg.

 Menopon of the curlew. In general dimensions they agree with 

 M. crocatum Nitzsch but in the proportion of the length of the 

 head to that of the thorax they agree rather with lutescens Nitzsch. 



Menopon gonophaeiini Nitzsch (1818). 



M. gonophaeum Nitzsch, in: Giebel, Ins. Epiz., p. 232, tab. 15, fig. 7 

 (1874). 



(^ ?, $ ? one specimen barely mature, Corvus corax varius (2 expl.) 



Gjanoyri, Strömö, 16., 17./9. 1912. K. Schreiber leg. 



One quite immature example, Corvus corax varius. 



Naalsö, 18.;9. 1912. Petersen leg. 



This is a broad headed form with abdominal bands which
