Abstract:

It is of fundamental importance in the study of questions relating to the distribution and phylogeny of parasites to know of those agencies or conditions which brvak down natural barriers to their spread from host individual to host individual and from host species to host species. In the case of host species of solitary habits their ectoparasites are thought to be marooned on such species much in the manner of inhabitants of an island. In general it may be stated, as held by Kellogg (1915), that the lice of such species have, through association, followed the same road in their phylogenetic development as their hosts; or, in other words, that hosts and parasites have had a parallel phylogeny.
