Extract

The following paper is part of the result of work done in the University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge, between Nov. 1922 and June 1923. The present writer has for some years been receiving specimens of Nycteribiidae for determination, and with them there had accumulated at Cambridge a small collection of another family of bat-parasites, the Streblidae. At the writer's suggestion, Mrs Kessel undertook a systematic examination of this collection, and with it of material kindly lent by the British Museum through Major Austen and Mr F. W. Edwards, by Professor Poulton from the Hope Museum, Oxford, by Dr G. A. K. Marshall from the Imperial Bureau of Entomology, and by Mr S. Hirst. To all these gentlemen thanks are tendered, also to the authorities of the British Museum for the gift of certain named duplicates, and to Mr Oldfield Thomas for checking the names of the mammalian hosts. Thanks are also due to Mr Gillings for the care exercised by him over the drawings, and to the editors of Parasitology for accepting this paper for publication.
