pertinent host stirveys may be inclvded in the section entitled BIOLOGY, 

 of which the host list should, of course, be considered an integral 

 part. The common neune of non-Svidanese hosts may be found in Allen's 

 (1939^ checklist of African mammals. After serious consideration of 

 several sviggestions that the scientific name of each kind of host be 

 provided, it has been decided to do so only where the common name 

 might frequently be confused, as for the '"wild dog*" or '"hunting dog"*, 

 lycaon pictus . 



BIOIjOCT 



All available references, including data on BIOLOGY of species 

 discussed herein, have been summarized in more or less detail, de- 

 pending on the weight of their importance. It is hoped that this sec- 

 tion will be especially -useful in indicating further research problems. 



DISEASE RELATIONS 



DISEASE RELATIONS with which each species has been incriminated 

 are usually merely listed by common name and etio logic agent. This 

 section is intended only as a cross reference to subject chapters in 

 the subsequent volume on ^sea^e relations . Unpublished resiilts o7" 

 work undertaken in the virology and bacteriology laboratories of 

 NAMIU3 on Sudan ticks are also inclvided in this section. 



REMARKS 



Miscellaneous REMARKS are included here. This section preceeds 

 that on identification if most of the notes are taxonomic or else 

 follows that on biology if mostly other subjects are involved. 



IDENTIFICATION 



Diagnostic criteria in addition to key characters are provided 

 for IDENTIFICATION by the average reader. Where Siodan material or 

 special studies modify previously accepted diagnostic features or 

 are of other importance, greater detail is provided. Otherwise, no 

 attempt has been made to present a full description of each species
