Extract

The following will form the first of a series of papers on the Siphonaptera, in which will be mentioned all known species, together with such, new species as have come to my notice. Besides what has been drawn from theexamination of a large series of specimens in my own collection, and many kindly sent me by Taschenberg, Howard, Bruner, Osborn, comstock and others, I have borrowed freely from previous papers on the subject, and especially from Taschenberg's “Die Flohe.”

Packard, in a late paper (Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., XXVI., Sept., 1894, pp. 312-355), follows sotne of the old authors in calling the maxillary palpi five-jointed (l. c. p. 348). I cannot see the reason for reiterating statements that have been proven incorrect, In the near future, I will review those portions of this paper which seem to be original.
