him to regard it as being probably a different species. My 

 examination of Krefft's material shows that the parasite is 

 a typical Diploposthe, but I am not yet certain of its 

 identity or otherwise, with D. laevis. Fuhrmann 1 in 1908 

 listed it as a different species, viz., D. (?) tubercolnta, the 

 specific name being evidently a misprint for tuberculata.

 No parasites appear to have been identified from Aus- 

 tralian material collected from members of other families 

 (e.g. Phalacrocoracidae, Pelicanidac, etc.) belonging to 

 this order of birds.
