12d Canadian Ardtic Expedition, 1913-18 



FLEAS. 



A small collection of fleas, of great interest on account of the meagre char- 

 acter of our knowledge of the fleas of the Canadian Arctic, was sent to Hon. 

 X. Charles Rothschild, London, England, for identification and report. Un- 

 fortunately, however, they have been lost, and consequently no report on this 

 group has been prepared. They were collected from the following hosts: 



Continental Arctic Fox, Alopsx lagopus innuitus (Merriam). 



Parry's Ground Squirrel, Citellus parryii (Richardson). 



Keewatin Arctic Hare, Lepus arcticus canus Preble. 



C. Gordon Hewitt, 



Dominion Entomologist.
