Species of Lice found on the Fowl. 



There are eight distinct species of Mallophaga 

 found on the Fowl in England. Seven of these have 

 been known for a considerable time. The eighth 

 species, which is quite new, was forwarded to me by 

 Mr. Till, of Eynsford, Kent. Two of these belong to 

 the genus Goniodes, two to the genus Goniocotes, 

 two to the genus Lipeurus, and two to the genus 

 Menopon.
