Notes On The Trematode Genus Telorchis With Descriptions Of A New Species, Horace Wesley Stunkard
Notes On The Trematode Genus Telorchis With Descriptions Of A New Species, Horace Wesley Stunkard
Harold W. Manter Laboratory: Library Materials
Summary
The study of abundant material, both adult and immature forms from the trematode genus Telorchis, including four species new to science and others from new hosts and localities, has given data for the first general discussion of the genus yet made. The sub-genera Telorchis and Cercorchis proposed by Lühe intergrade and can not be retained. T. augustus and T. leptus if correctly described should be removed to an independent genus. The new and some older species are discussed in detail.

Mallophaga From Apteryx, And Their Significance, With A Note On The Genus Rallicola, Launcelot Harrison
Harold W. Manter Laboratory: Library Materials
Regards the skins of five species of Apteryx in the collection at the Cambridge University Museum in England. From these were collected three species of Mallophaga belonging to the genus Rallicola. These are described with discussion about the significance of this occurrence upon Apteryx, from which no Mallophaga have previously been recorded.

The Habits, Life History, And Structure Of A Blood-Sucking Muscid Larva (Protocalliphora Azurea), Albert Francis Coutant

While studying the blood parasites Halteridium and Proteosoma, and the Filaria of the common crow (Corvus americana), my attention was attracted by an external parasite of some young nestlings which were brought into the laboratory. Observations on this parasite, which proved to be the larva of Protocalliphora azurea (Fall.), form the basis of this paper. The parasite is the immature form of one of the so-called "blue-bottle" or flesh-flies, whose larvae are generally regarded as useful scavengers. More careful observations on the life-histories of many species, however, have shown that they may be, and often are, parasites …

Summary
The ear of a mountain sheep at Estes Park, Colorado, USA, was found to be heavily infested with a Sarcoptid mite which was not the common scab mite of domesticated sheep but is new in this country.
This form is similar to a mite found in the ear of goats in the Pyrenees and in the Congo. Nevertheless there is reason to consider it a new species and it is named Psoroptes cervinae.
The complaint to which it gives rise is likely to be serious if its effects are like those of the related European form. The Bighorn …
