I-IAI-IMAL BURROWS AND DEIJS 



Mammal burrows and dens should be carefully studied in Equa- 

 toria Province. A special trip planned to investigate this impor- 

 tant aspect of tick biology was cancelled due to unsettled condi- 

 tions in southern Sudan. See pages 792 and 793.

All statements below pertain to the Galual-Nyang Forest uii- 

 less other localities are specified. For a description of this 

 forest, see Reid (1955). The Galual-Nyang forest lirol, and 

 Wau areas have been moderately well explored for ticks, although 

 much remains to be accomplished in this region. Scattered rec- 

 ords for other localities noted on Figure 3 have been obtained. 

 The western half of the Province should yield many interesting 

 new data. 



*Data from this Province result chiefly from the energy and interest 

 *Data f^om^^^^^ ^^^.^^ veterinary entomologist, and to his associates 

 on th^ Tsetse Survey and Reclamation Teaiu, Messrs. N. A. Hancock, 

 A W Wild, P. J. Henshaw, W. I. A. Dees, P. Blasdale, and H_. G.

 to Wau' and the Galual-Nyang Forest, at the invitation of Mr J.

 a'ruest of Mr. Chorley, produced many worthwhile specimens and 

 obSrvatfons due largely to the courtesy and assistance of the
