dently all of one species, a species probably undescribed, of 
Polyplax. But all the specimens show some signs of imma- 
turity, notably in the hair covering of the body; so that, al- 
_though the five-segmented condition of the antennae indicates 
maturity, we prefer not to describe the species at present. 
Some mites, also, were included and are almost certainly new, 
but we shall not undertake their description. 
Finally in addition to the ectoparasites from the vizcachas, 
Dr. Townsend has sent us some Mallophaga taken in Peru 
from other mammal and bird hosts. The specimens from 
mammals include the familiar Trichodectes parumpilosus from 
the horse, the curious Menopon jenningsi, described by Paine 
and myself in 1910 from the domestic guinea-pig, Cavia 
cobaya, and recorded by Paine again in 1912 from the wild 
guinea-pig, Cavia cutleri, of Peru, Dr. Townsend’s specimens 
also coming from a domestic guinea-pig, and the interesting 
Trichodectes breviceps from the llama, described by Rudow in 
1866, and not again recorded until now. Of chief interest, 
however, are two Mallophagan species taken from two speci- 
mens of the capuchin monkey, Cebus capuchinus. We are not 
as yet clear as to their status. 
The specimens from the birds will not be referred to in this 
paper.

A Correction. 
The Proceedings of the Second International Congress of Ento- 
mology held at Oxford, August, 1912, have appeared, dated Oxford, 
February, 1914. They form Volume I of the publications of this Con- 
gress, Volume II being the Transactions issued in October last. Owing 
to some error, the name of G. B. Cresson appears on pages 124 and 
160 of the Proceedings, instead of that of E. T. Cresson, as having 
been elected an Honorary Member of the Congresses.
