 Although 0. raoubata has not been reported from the COMCRES group, 

 Neel, Pay'et, and Gonnet (1949) state that relapsing fever of the 

 apparent type borne by 0, moubata exists at Dzaoudzi. 



Records from Zanzibar (Brumpt 1901,1908A) probably should be 

 disregarded. They may refer to "East Africa* in general. Accord- 

 ing to Dr. S, D. Robertson, Pathologist, Medical Department, in 

 personal correspondence, 0. moubata does not occur in Zanzibar. 

 It has been stated to be absent there (Aders 1913) and was not 

 listed by Aders (1917B) in his report of insects injxirious to man 

 and stock in Zanzibar. Odd individuals of the tick may be im- 

 ported in dhows from Tsinganyika but these do not appear to become 

 established on the island (Leeson 1953). 



/"NCRTH AFRICA AND ARABU: Records from Libya are diffictilt 

 to accept. Franchini (1932A,B,1933A,B,C,D,1934B,1935A) listed 

 Tripolitania as the source of specimens. He was probably dealing 

 vith 0. savignyi , but Garibaldi (1935) accepted these reports. 

 ZavatTari U932, 1933, 1934) stated that 0. moubata is absent in 

 Libya. Though Franchini (loc. cit.) arS Gaspare (1933,1934) as- 

 serted differently, their remarks are so confused as to negate 

 their argvment unless fresh specimens can be procTired. One of 

 KAMRUL3*s well trained assistants has been Tinable to find 0, 

 moubata in the Libyan localities from which it was reported.
