four families, of Mallophaga were collected from the com- 
paratively small number of infested animals and birds, it 
is probable that many species of biting lice would be found 
on more extensive collecting. Seven species were taken 
from the tinamous, four from the black headed vulture and 
three from the Swainson’s toucans. In listing these species 
I have followed Harrison’s (2) work of 1916, since this 
seems to be the latest comprehensive paper. 
Menopon alternatum Osborn. Specimens of this species 
were found in small numbers on two black vultures, Cathar- 
ista urubu (Vieillot), examined at Camp Pital. 
Menopon balfouri Waterston. This species was present in 
all stages on five Swainson’s toucans, Rhamphastos sivain- 
sonii Gould. It seems to be the prevailing species infesting 
these toucans. 
Menopon ortalidis Carriker. Many males, females and 
immature specimens were collected from a curassow, Crax 
globiceri (Linnaeus). 
Colpocephalum kelloggi Osborn. A few males and fe- 
males of this species were present on four black vultures, 
Catharista urubu (Vieillot) . 
Myrsidea extranea Carriker. A number of males, fe- 
males and young forms were found upon three Swainson’s 
toucans, Rhamphastos swainsonii Gould. 
Myrsidea mirabilis Carriker. Several males and females 
of this species were collected from a Wagler’s oropendula, 
Zarhynchus wagleri wagleri (Gray). 
Lsemobothrion glutianans Nitzsch. Several specimens of 
males and females of the large lice of this species were 
taken from three black vultures, Catharista urubu (Vie- 
illot), examined at Camp Pital. 
Trichodectes nasuatis Osborn. The small lice of this 
species were present in considerable numbers on each of 
three young coatis, Nasua narica panam'ensis Allen. 
Goniodes aberrans Carriker. This species was found to 
be abundant in all stages on eight tinamous, Tinamus ma- 
jor castaneiceps Salvadori, that were eximined. Two of
