Discovery of the eyeless tampan, 0. noubata in three warthog 

 burrows in the Forest area is of extreme interest (pages 121,129, 

 1U,U9). 



A HIPPOPOTAMUS shot in the Jur River, in the northeastern 

 corner of the Province, in April had nine male and one female R. 

 £. simus on its ears. " 



GIRAFFES in northeastern Bahr KL Ghazal comprise one of the 

 most northern populations of these animals in eastern Africa. 

 The first four hosts on the table (page 813) were taken at Liednhom 

 on the south bank of the Jur River, near the Galua3^Nyang Forest 

 where the remainder of the hosts were secixred. Data for the num.

 chief tick species infesting thirty hosts are listed in the table 

 on page 813. 



There were no significant differences between infestations of 

 male and female hosts. The only ticks in addition to those listed 

 in the table were a male R. s. simus (Host 3), two male A. lepidum 

 (Hosts 8 and 17), and a male"lR . "^rlcuspi s (Host 30). "
