This is another of the species that was jjiven a name and figure in the work by Kedi more than two liundred years ago. It was also described briefly by Linnanis under tlie name of Pediculus columhv; but since the description by Nitzsch in 1818, under the name of Lipvurns bacillus, this has been the accepted name, and has been used by nearly all writers since that ; It is not strange that it attracted the attention of early naturalists, as it occurs in wonderful abundance on almost every pigeon that may be examined, and its striking a])pear- auce, due to the extreme slenderness of the body, would at once catch the eye of the observer. It is about 2 mm. in length, the body very slender; the head and thorax are of a bright reddish-brown color, while the abdomen is rather dusky, with a series of patches of a brown color corresponding with the segments of the abdomen. So far as known, this species is confined to pigeons, and there seems no danger of their being transmitted to other fowls with which they may associate. Piaget states that he has found the females astray up(m a Sula alba, ujmn a Totanus filottis, and upon a Charadrius minor, only in the last case the appendages of the clypeus wanting; the last segment had the lobes more acute and the dimensions were less.
