New Mallophaga.—Much the most important paper as yet pub- 
lished in America concerning the Mallophaga is the recent contribu- 
tion from the Hopkins Seaside Laboratory, in which Prof. V. L. 
Kellogg treats of New Mallophaga, with special reference to a collec- 
tion made from Maritime birds of the Bay of Monterey, California. 
In the 140 pages of print the author presents descriptions and figures 
of one new genus and thirty-eight new species of Mallophaga, together 
with twenty-two species previously described by European authors, but 
now, with few exceptions, first determined as parasites of American 
birds. In addition, the paper contains an excellent general account 
of the Mallophaga and fourteen admirable plates. It can be obtained 
for 50 cents by addressing The Registrar, Stanford University, Cali- 
fornia.
