SPEC I ES RECORDS 



MAMER OF DATA PRESENTATION 



EQUATCRIA PROVINCE RBCCRDS 



On the following pages all available EQUATCRIA PROVINCE RECORDS 

 for each species are listed according to numbers of specimens of 

 each stage and sex, locality within the Province, host, and month 

 of collection. The mainnialian hosts are described by Setzer (1956b) 

 in his '"Mamraals of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan'". Domestic animals and 

 wild birds or reptiles are listed following wild mammals. Where 

 human beings have served as hosts, the records precede those from 

 animals. Different collections from one kind of host are listed 

 geographically from eeist to west. 



If two or more collections have been made from a single kind of 

 host in the same locality during one month, the data have been coL. 

 lated on one line and the number of collections noted in parentheses 

 immediately following the month. The '"number of collections'" are 

 statistically unreliable since they may refer to one day's collec- 

 tion or to a collection from one herd of domestic animals. However, 

 every collection from a single wild animal host is considered as a 

 single collection. 



It will be noted that most specimens were taken dxiring the dry 

 season, November to April. This has no significance except to indi- 

 cate that much of my tick collecting in Equatoria Province was ac- 

 complished during this season. >bst Sudan material presented by 

 other persons has also been gathered during this period when travel 

 is easier and most officials have returned from home leave. 



The great bulk of records in the Equatoria Province section are 

 from my collection and are not otherwise noted. Any data froa other 

 sources are indicated by initials in parentheses following the month 

 of collection: (SVS) for Sudan Veterinary Service, (SQC ) for Siidan 

 Government Collections, (BMNH) for British l-fuseum (Natural History),
