Frequency distributions conform with a negative binomial distribution which suggests a &amp;quot;fundamental model&amp;quot; upon which, for example, more accurate statistical analyses (by means of precise data transformations) may be contemplated. Examination of Mallophagan population structures - especially those obtained from a series of consecutive samples - is a means of investigating population dynamics and may even &amp;nbsp; provide an insight into the relationship between the ectoparasite and the host itself (see, for example, Fowler &amp;amp; Price, 1987, for a review of recent work in this field).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Mallophagan populations of British breeding procellariiform species were described by Fowler &amp;amp; Miller (1984). However, only 7 leach&amp;#39;s Petrels &lt;em&gt;Oceanodroma leucorhoa &lt;/em&gt;were deloused in that study. This paper descibes the frequency distribution and population structure of Mallophaga&amp;nbsp;collected from a much larger sample.&lt;/p&gt;
