Siphonaptera collected by Dr. M. Daniel in Nepal

During the Third Czechoslovak Expedition to the Himalayas, in the spring of 1973, Dr. M. Daniel collected 244 specimens of fleas belonging to 19 different taxa, including four hitherto undescribed ones, from mammals and birds in the Barun Khola valley at the foot of the Makalu mountain just south-east of Mt. Everest. Data and comments are given in this paper for the fleas collected and the new taxa are described.
