    The sequence of genera in the following paper does not indicate the author’s views with regard to the nat- ural relationships of these genera, nor even with regard to the phyletic rank of the suborders. The Ambly- cerous genera, coming last in the present arrangement, are undoubtedly the more generalized of the two sub- ordinal groups. The squence is that adopted in the European monographs and followed by me in my two previous papers (New Mallophaga, I, 1896, and New Mallophaga, II, 1896), and is retained for the sakje of uniformity. The sequence of the species of each genus is determined by the host, the sequence of hosts being that adopted in the Check-List of North American Birds (2nd Edition, 1895), published by the American Orni- thologists’ Union. The names of the hosts are those used in the Check-List. Wherever a species of Mallophaga is met, which has been previously identified by me on an American host, reference is made only to this previous identification, where the synonymy, European hosts, and figure and measurements of the species are given. Docophorus. Docophorous lari Denny. (See Kellogg, New Mallo- phaga, I, 1896, p. 98, pi. iv, fig. 4.) Specimens from Larus sp. (Baja California) and from Larus glcmcescens (North Pacific Ocean, off Alaska). Taken previously by me from several species of Larus (Bay of Monterey, California.) Docophorus icterodes Nitzsch. (See Kellogg, New Mal- lophaga, I, 1896, p. 96, pi. iv, fig. 1).
