Cheetah (Lewis 1932A,1934). Serval (Lewis 1931B,1932A) . 

 Various foxes (King 1926, Weber 194-8, J. B. Walker, unpublished). 

 Various hyenas (Neumann 1922, Loveridge 1923A, Lewis 1934, Zumpt 

 19A.3A , J . B . Walker , unpublished). Various jackals (Neumann 

 1902B, Lewis 1931A,1932A,1934, Zumpt 1943A;. Various civets 

 (Loveridge 1923A, Bequaert 193 OA, Allen and Loveridge 1933, 

 Zumpt 19ii.3A, Matthysse 1954). Genet (Bequaert 1930A) . Hunting

 Beoford 1932B; J. B. Walker, unpublished). Rat el (Sudan records 

 above). Marsh mongoose (Loveridge 1923A) . The Onderstepoort 

 collection, BM(NHJ, and the present collections contain numerous

Antelopes ; In Bquatoria, the only records of this tick from 

 antelopes are from two common elands, a tiang, a large- snouted 

 dik-dik, and two roan antelopes. None others were found on the 

 several hundred antelopes examined in Equatoria and BaJir KL 

 Ghazal Provinces. Elsewhere in the Sudan, there is only a single 

 record from a roan antelope at Kaka in Upper Nile Province; this 

 was reported by King (1926) . King also noted the gazelle as a 

 host, but specimens are not now available. 



Simpson's (1914) records for a West African oribi and a reed- 

 buck quite possibly pertain to the subspecies senegalensis . 



Other published records from antelopes are: Duiker (Bedford 

 1932B). Grant's gazelle (Lewis 1934). Kudu (Bedford 1932, Lewis 

 1932A). Bushbuck (Lewis 1931A,1932A). Eland (Lewis 1931A,1932A). 

 Wildbeest (Lewis 1932A,1934). Sable antelope (Santos Dias 1950). 

 Impala (Meeser 1952). Steinbuck (Lewis 1931B). 



On 49 Tanganyika Thomson's gazelles that yielded many ticks, 

 R. s. simus was represented by only two females although this 

 'sub'species was common on many other kinds of hosts from the same 

 area. (J. B. Walker, unpublished). A single male was found on 

 an eland.
