LGXCDONTA AFRICANA OTfOTIS Matschie, 1900. Sudan Plains Elephant. 



No elephants were examined in this Province west of the Nile 

 but specimens of D. c. circumguttatus fovind on grass near Kajo 

 Kaji probably had~been associated with these animals. East of 

 the Nile four of many elephants seen immediately after death 

 were infested. The numbers of ticks on each, all ad\ilt A. 

 tholloni , were six, twelve, 23, and 197. It is of interest 

 that in Bahr KL Ghazal Province numerous elephants were infested 

 only by large numbers of R. simus simus and R. simus senegalensis , 

 none by the specific elepHant parasite, A. tEolloni .
