 Robinson 1926). Specimens from Omdurman and Khartoun in Sudan 

 Government collections are from captive tortoises from unstated 

 localities and probably represent the records or parts of the 

 collections on which Kinr^s, Nuttall's, and Robinson's statements 

 were made. No evidence is at hand to show that this tick occurs 

 in nature in Khartoum Province. _7
