MALLOPHAGA 



PAR PROF. L. G. NEUMANN, TOULOUSE 



(Avec la Planche III) 



EDITORIAL NOTE. The collection of Bird-lice is a very small one, and with a single exception was not 

 obtained in the Antarctic region, but on the Albatrosses of the Southern Ocean. 



The one exception, a variety of Philopterus lari, is interesting as the first species found on Maccormick's 

 Skua, and also for its occurrence for the first time in the Antarctic. 



As these parasites appear to be extremely rare in the Antarctic it is worth noting that one was 

 observed alive on an Emperor Penguin, though unfortunately the specimen was lost among the down. 

 The rarity appears to be real, as we carefully examined many penguins of botli species, Skua Gulls, and 

 Giant and Antarctic Petrels, and never saw any Bird-lice except these three, two on the Skua and one on 

 the Emperor. J. M.
