Ectoparasites of the Pelagic Cormorant, Phalacrocorax pelagicus Pallas, collected from St. Paul Island, Alaska, included two species of insects and five species of acarines. Astigmatid mites, Neottialges pelagicus OConnor and Scutomegninia sp. (undescribed), were the most abundant group of ectoparasites. The majority of N. pelagicus were collected from the breast and belly, whereas a feather mite, Scutomegninia sp. (undescribed), was recovered almost exclusively from the wings. Two species of…

Kittiwakes usually supported more diverse communities of ectoparasites than did murres, probably because of differences in nesting and foraging behavior.
