INTRODUCTION 
The P a c i f i c  Ocean Biologica l  Survey Program (POBSP) of t h e  
Smithsonian I n s t i t u t i o n  made 1,693 Mallophaga c o l l e c t i o n s  from 66 b i r d  
species  on 25 i s l a n d s  and a t  s e a  i n  t h e  Cent ra l ,  Northern and 
Southeastern P a c i f i c  from 1963 through 1969. This paper  p resen t s  a 
l i s t i n g  of t h e  hos ts ,  t h e  Mallophaga, and t h e  c o l l e c t i o n  l o c a l i t i e s .  
The 66 hos t  spec ies  belong t o  5 orders  and 13 fami l i e s  of sea,  
shore, and land b i r d s .  From these  hos t s  were co l l ec ted  96 Mallophaga 
species ,  belonging t o  2 suborders ,  2 f ami l i e s ,  and 26 genera. 
Several sources were used i n  assembling t h e  common and s c i e n t i f i c  
names of t h e  b i r d  h o s t s .  The names used i n  t h e  American Orn i tho log i s t s1  
Union's Checklis t  of North American Birds, 1957, 5 th  e d i t i o n ,  were 
followed f o r  species  occurr ing  i n  North America. Seabird names agree 
with those which appear i n  Watson (1966) and King (1967). Taxonomic 
order  follows t h a t  of Pe te r s  (1931, 1934, and 1937) with t h e  exception 
of the  Procel la r i i formes ,  which follow Alexander -- e t  a l . (1965), t h e  
Anseriformes, which follow Delacour (1954, 1959), and t h e  Charadriiformes, 
which fol low Bock (1958). 
Mallophaga c l a s s i f i c a t i o n  follows t h a t  of Hopkins and Clay (1952 
and 1955), Emerson (1962, 1964a, and 1964b), and Ryan and Pr i ce  (1969a 
and 1969b).
