Extract

The majority of the parasitic mites described in the following pages were collected in various provinces of Southern Africa by Dr F. Zumpt of the South African Institute for Medical Research at Johannesburg, to whom I tender my hearty thanks. One species was contributed by Mr P. H. Vercammen-Grandjean from a host taken at Bukavu in the Belgian Congo, while a few others were recorded from birds examined by myself at Pietermaritzburg, Natal. Only one species of this group of mites, Harpyrhynchus crista-galli, had previously been taken from a South African bird.
