Extract

Through the courtesy of Dr Hans Gadow I have had the opportunity of examining a number of skins of five species of Apteryx in the collection of the Cambridge University Museum. From these I have collected at least three species of Mallophaga, which I find to belong to the genus Rallicola. These are described below, with some discussion of the genus to which they belong, and of the significance of the occurrence of that genus upon Apteryx, from which no Mallophaga have previously been recorded.
