distinct but not deep divisions into joints, brownish, finely trans- 

 versely rugose. The anterior spiracles project like two small, 

 black buttons; the posterior spiracles not projecting. The outer 

 pupa-spiracles could not be detected. 



13. Calliphora groenlandica Zett. 



A number of specimens, some of which were hatched from pupae 

 found on a dog's carcase on July 17th 1907. 



14. Fucellia pictipennis Becker. 



Of this species, which was founded on specimens brought home 

 from East Greenland by earlier expeditions, a single specimen was 

 found in the collections. 



15. Scatophaga squalida Meig. 



A number of specimens from June to July 1908.

1. Pulex glacialis Taschb. ^ 



Otho Fabricius in Fauna Groenlandica^ noted that ''■Pulex 

 irritans" occurred on the Greenland hare. Meinert^ denoted Fabri- 

 cius' species as P. glacialis, which Taschenberg^ had founded on 

 specimens taken "аи/" Lepus glacialis am Nordpole". Since Fabricius' 

 time no fleas have been found on hares in West Greenland; on the 

 other hand, P. glacialis was found by a Swedish Expedition on hareß 

 in East Greenland^' (Dronning Augustas Dal ^^h, Ruths Island ^^Is 

 and Cape Weber ^''/s), and the "Danmark" Expedition has also 

 brought home a no small number of this species, with which 

 practically all the hares shot on the Expedition were infested. 



The species is known, outside Greenland, only from Arizona, 

 where it is found on "rabbits"*'. With regard to the distribution in 

 Greenland the following may be remarked. Fabricius, who mentioned 

 the hare-flea from Greenland, only knew the fauna on the west 

 coast, but since his time no fleas have ever been found on hares. 

 One of the members of the Expedition, Jørgen Brøndlund, who 

 had hunted in West Greenland, had it specially noted in the Zoolo- 



1 Tlie Hon. Ch. Rothschild has kindly named this species.
