This is an error. The tortoise was a Ginixis erosa and origiual

 described by me (Tijdschrift der Nederlandsche Dierkundige Ver- 

 eenigi?ig, ser. 2, vol. 7, p. 53, Plate I, fig. 1—9); whilst the 

 other is new to science. They are: 



Neoparasitus oudemansi Oudms., 1 cf, 5 9- 



Emeus bosschai Ondms., nymph., nov. sp. (see below). 



9. Acari of West-Africa. 



A few years ago I received three Thrombidium which were

 determined them with the memoir of Dr. Troüessart as Thrombi- 

 dium tinctorium (L.), 2 9> 1 C?« 



10. Acari of Transvaal. 



The Rhipistoma mentioned by me in the Tijdschrift voor En- 

 tomologie, vol. 39, p. 193, is determined by Prof. G. Neumann, 

 of Toulouse, as Haemaphysalis leachi (Audouin) 9* They were 

 caught in Transvaal, in 1890.
