This contrasted withoverall findings from various parts of the tropical South Pacific, for 80 (22 per cent.)of 372 lan'al collections made over a two-year period included specimens infestedwith epibiotic ciliates alone (LAIRD, 1956). The case in question concerned a poorlypreserved .and unidentifiable species of the genus Zoothamnium (Ciliate: Peritricha)noted on the abdomen of a mounted fourth instar larva of Culex annulirostris fromstation no. 250.One third instar larva of Aides 5. sculellaris from station no. 241 was heavilyinfected with the endoparasitic fungus Coelomomyces stegomyiae Keilin (Phycomycetes:Coelomomycetaceae) as described in detail elsewhere (LAIRD, 1956).HAEMATOZOATable 2 lists the vertebrates examined for blood parasites. Several of the marL'le fishrecords, being additional to those published by ROFEN (1958), are new for Rennel!.The names of the species concerned are marked with an asterisc (*) as is that of abird additional to the Bellona list published by BRADLEY & WOLFF (1956). The materialcomprises thin films of heart blood which were made on numbered microscopeslides, fixed in methyl alcohol soon after collection, and later stained with Giemsa.No film was declared negative until two half-hour examinations, using x8 oculars
