	note = {Topics covered are as follows: Parasite classification Occupation of niches on the same host Adjustment to host Parallel, convergent and divergent evolution Dispersal (Transfer to new hosts occupying similar or distant ecological niches) Speciation Host or host group as an isolating factor Isolation and reunion of host populations Isolation by the development of host specificity Extinction of louse populations Ecological niches as Isolating Factors Sympatric Speciation Intrinsic changes in each ecological niche Change of ecological niche on the same host species Phylogeny Correlation between evolution of host and parasite Clues presented by parasites on the phylogeny of the hosts Causes of anomalous distribution of parasite Discontinuous distribution of genera Discontinuous distribution of species Secondary infestations Parallel and convergent evolution Human error Chronology of relationships A survey on the distribution of the Mallophaga on the class Aves: The following groups are all briefly discussed: Struthioniformes, Rheiformes, Casuariiformes, Apterigiformes, Tinamiformes, Gaviiformes, Podicipediformes, Sphenisciformes, Procellariiformes, Pelecaniformes, Ciconiiformes, Anseriformes, Falconiformes, Gaviformes, Gruiformes, Charadriiformes, Columbiformes, Psittaciformes, Cuculiformes, Strigiformes, Coliiformes, Passriformes. Diagrams showing the apparent affinities of the mallophagan fauna of the Aves are given. Finally note on the discussion the concluded the presentatuion are given and a summary of parasites reported from the ostrich and the Rhea.},
