Man 



More specimens of R. s. siimis were taken on members of our 

 parties in southern Sudan than any other tick species. Several 

 of these were engorging and others might have done so if they 

 had not been removed. Galli-Valerio (1909B), Jack (19^2), and 

 Lumsden (1955) noted incidental attacks on man. Veneroni (1928) 

 and Ziimpt and Glajchen (1950) reported hxiraan paralysis after bites 

 of the glossy tick. Others have said specifically that no spec- 

 imens were found on people during surveys, for example, Kauntze's 

 (193A-) report on the Kilmani area near Nairobi. J. B. Walker 

 (correspondence), however, reported five males and three females 

 from man in tall grass country south of Arusha, Tanganyika. 



Wild Animals 



Primates ; In Bahr EL Ghazal, hundreds of specimens were 

 collected from old male baboons, some of which harbored as many 

 as 200 glossy ticks, chiefly in the axilla. In the same areas, 

 baboons travelling in community groups were consistently free 

 of ticks. In Kenya, we found specimens on Colobus monkeys (see 

 also I. schillingsi , page 558), but, except for a note ty Lirmsden 

 (19557 > there is no reference in the literature to similar col- 

 lections. Theiler (correspondence) has a single record from 

 Galago crassicaudatus agisymbanus from Zanzibar. 



Carnivores ; These animals, along with some of the larger 

 and thicker skinned herbivores of Africa, appear to be hosts of 

 choice; Lions ^All extensive African collections studied by 

 the writer contain specimens from lions. Reported by Neumann
