mesenteric glands of cattle in Queensland, specimens bein^

Ac ARID A. 



Cytodites nudus Viz. 

 This mite is found occasionally in the Brisbane district 

 in the air sacs of the domestic fowl. 



Notcedres muris IMlgnin. 



Though mange mites are not true entozoa, I take the 

 opportunity to record the presence of Notcedres muris- 

 {Sarcoptes muris, 8. alepis Raill.) in Brisl)ane and Melbourne 

 on Epimys rattus and E. norvegicus ; in Launceston and 

 Sydnej'^ on E. rattus ; and in Adelaide on "rats" (collected 

 by Dr. J. B. Cleland.*) 



I have alread}' referred to its occurrence in E. norvegicus 

 in N.S.W. and E. alexandrijiu-s in Perth, West Australia. 

 The parasite sets up a warty condition of the tail, ears and 

 sometimes other parts of the head.
