Parasites from Mammals. 



[The list of parasites obtained from the mammals taken during 

 the Abor Expedition is not a long one, although great care was 

 exercised (at any rate so far as external parasites were concerned) 

 in looking for them on each specimen. We have to thank 

 Mr. Cecil Warburton, who prefers not to describe the new forms 

 at present, for examining the ticks, Mr. T. Southwell for identify- 

 ing a parasitic worm and Mr. E. Brunetti for naming a Pupiparous 

 fly. The various parasites are listed under the names of the 

 mammals on which they were found. [N. A.] 



6. — Tupaia bclangcri (Wagner) (p. 86). 



Arachnida (Ixodidae). — Haemaphy sails sp. near koeningsherneri 



(n5^mph indet.). 

 — ? Hyalomma syriacum^ Koch ? (nymphs). 

 About these specimens Mr. Warburton 

 writes : " It is a remarkable thing 

 that we can never find nymphs of 

 this species {H. syriacum), though it 



Kobo (400 ft.) : 9-xii-ii. is common on tortoises all over the 



world. I have a strong belief, how- 

 ever, that these specimens belong to 

 it, but the point must remain in 

 doubt until we see undoubted H. 

 syriacum nymphs." A similar speci- 

 men was taken by Mr. Graveh' on a 

 man's leg in Tenasserim. 



9. — Ptcropus giganteus leucocephalus, Hodgs. (p. 87). 



DiPTERA PuPiPARA. — Cyclopodea horsfieldii, de Meij. Many speci- 

 Sadiya. mens. 



16. — Sciurus ethrythraeus intermedius, Anderson (p. 89). 



Arachnida (Ixodidae). — Ixodes angustus var. nov. Mr. Warbur- 

 ton regards these specimens as re- 

 Kobo : 29-iii-i2. presenting a new variety of the 



American squirrel-tick.
