Th'e following summarises the results of previous records 

 and my findings in birds examined : — 



Gestodes recorded previously in 45 species. Found by me in 



59, of whicb 50 are new hosts. 

 Adult nematodes recorded previously in 21 species. Found 



by me in 22, of which 15 are new hosts. 

 Microfilariae recorded previously in 34 species. 

 Aoanthocephala recorded previously in 21 species. Found 



by me in 10, of which 6 are new hosts. 

 Trematodes recorded previously in 38 species. Found by me 



in 1. 

 Fleas recorded previously in 1 species. Found by me in 2, 



of which 1 is a new host. 

 Hippoboscidae recorded previously in 3 species. Found by 



me in 1, which is a new host. 

 Mallophaga recorded previously in 64 species. Found by me 



in 65, of which 54 are new hosts. 

 Ticks recorded previously in 1 species. Found by me in 4, 



of which 3 are new hosts. 

 Mites recorded previously in 18 species. Found by me in 22, 



of which 21 are new hosts. 

 Haemosporidia recorded previously in 47 species. 

 Haemoflagellates recorded previously in 12 species. 



In 302 individuals, comprising 132 species, no entozoa 

 were detected. Though it is probable that, in some of these, 

 parasites were overlooked (and in some of the species they 

 have been previously recorded), the number of infested birds 

 thus missed is probably small. No ectozoa were detected or 

 61 individuals belonging to 46 species. 



The numbers following the names of the birds are those 

 of the check-list published in the Emu, vol. xii., 1912-3.
