 Schiitz, Weber and Miessner, 1903, pp. 39-50, observed all stages on 

 cattle, and demonstrated by experiment that ricinus conveys redwater 

 in Germany.] Heligoland : [Neumann, 1899, p. 116, states it was 

 found on Regulus ignicapillus and on Strix brachyotus, and os were 

 taken from Tringa pugnax, according to G. Haller (Poppe coll.)]. Italy : 

 [Canestrini, 1890, p. 497, obtained specimens on cattle, dogs, goats and 

 roe-deer in the Trentino, and on goats and roe-deer in Veneto. He 

 states that Richiardi found them on Rhinolophus ferrum equinum at 

 Pisa, and Canestrini found a young $ on Rh. euryale at Pisa. He 

 found young stages in Trentino, Istria, Veneto and Toscana on Lacerta 

 muralis and L. viridis. Canestrini and Fanzago, 1877, p. 112, found 

 many on hunting dogs, and on the goat, roe-deer and wild cat (p. 113, 

 /. rufus on Cervus dama and p. 114 /. lacertae on lizards)]. Spain:

 L. arenicola and L. vivipera)]. Russia: [The Hamburg Museum 

 contains specimens (</" and ?) collected by Dickmann in Amur, ac- 

 cording to Neumann, 1904, p. 452. He also records, 1899, p. 116, a o 

 from Caucasia in the Megnin collection (now at the Laboratoire de 

 Parasitologic, Paris)]. Finland : [The prevalence of this species was 

 established by Kossel and Weber, 1900, in connection with their studies 

 on redwater in cattle. See also Kossel, 1902, p. 853; Kossel, Schiitz, 

 Weber and Miessner, 1903, p. 39; Nordenskiold, 1905, p. 485]. 



To the foregoing list of European hosts we add, on the authority of 

 Neumann, 1899, p. 115, the cormorant, polecat and mole, no locality 

 being given.
