Species of lice and the animals they infest. Different kinds of dogs, fowls, and pigeons are infested by the same species of Pediculi [see Descent 1: 219].
Interested by HD’s information on aperea; CD had concluded that it was not the progenitor of domestic guinea-pigs.
Is unsure what HD means by "stock-dove"; properly this is Columba oenas and the domestic pigeon is C. livia.
Suggests that the Zoological Society might arrange for some specimens [unspecified] to be supplied from the Gardens.
Pleased to learn that HD has resumed research on Anoplura.
Are Chiloe pediculi a distinct species?
Do lice differ on different races of humans?
Is there evidence supporting Mr Marshall’s statement about Polynesian lice?
Returns [Andrew] Murray’s paper;
especially values HD’s note that the same species of lice infect the different varieties of fowl, pigeon, and dog. Further queries about the relationship of the same species of pediculi to different domestic varieties.
