 Nematoda: — Ascaris australis, Linstow, Arch, fiir Naturg., 



lxiii, 1897, p. 282. (Bismarck Archipelago.) 

 The parasite was taken from the stomach of this bird. 

 The same species has been described as inhabiting the 

 intestine of an owl, Ninox odiosa, Scl. (vide infra). 



35. Falco lumtlatus, Lath. (M. 277, H. 15.) The little 

 falcon (white-fronted falcon). 



Nematoda .—Filaria sp. 

 Some long nematodes collected by Dr. Cleland from 

 the mesentery of this falcon at Burraeopphi, Wist Australia 

 in 1907, belong to this genus. 



36. Hicracidia beriyora, Vig. and Horsf. (M. 278, H. 16). 

 The striped brown hawk. 



Nematode: — Filaria guttata, Schneider, " Monogr. d. Nema- 

 toden," 1866, p. 92 (South Australia.) 



Order STRIGIFORMES. 

 Family Bubonid^. 



37. Ninox odiosa, Sclater. 



Nematoda:— i. Filaria sp., Linstow, Arch. f. Naturg., lxiii. 

 1897, p. 284. (Bismarck Archipelago.) 

 The specimens were taken from the body cavity, and 

 since they were immature, could not be specifically deter- 

 mined. 



ii. Ascaris australis, Linstow, I.e., p. 282. (Bismarck Archi- 

 pelago.) 

 As mentioned above, this parasite occurs also in a hawk 

 Baza bismarckiy Sharpe. 



38. Ninox boobook, Lath. (M.283, H.29). The bookook owl 

 Keartland 1 mentions that he found great numbers of 



thread worms between the skin and the skull of this bird, 

 but his reference is of no value for the purpose of this paper.
