98 Records of the Indian Museum. [Voi,. VIII^ 1913- 



26. — Sus cristatus, Wagner (p. 92). 



Arachnida (Ixodidae). — Many specimens of Ahlyomma testu- 



Kobo : 5-xii-ii. dinarium, Koch. 



Entozoa (Acanthocephai^a). — Numerous specimens of Echino- 



Kobo : 5-xii-ii. rhynchus gigas, Goeze, from the 



intestine. 



In addition to the ticks actually found on mammals a small 

 specimen of the common Haemaphysalis bispinosa, Neum., was 

 taken "by sweeping" at Dibrugarh and females of the equally 

 common Ahlyomma testudinarium were obtained in the same 

 manner at Kobo and on the banks of the Siyom below Damda : 

 also under a log at Sadiya, A female of Ixodes acutitarsis, Karsch, 

 of which Mr. Warburton thinks that his H. gigas may be the 

 male, was taken at Yembung. H. bispinosa and A. testudinarium 

 are commonly found among long grass through which the larger 

 mammals are in the habit of passing, while specimens of /. gigas 

 have been taken under stones near Darjiling. All three (? or four) 

 species are parasitic on various mammals. An undescribed species 

 of Haemaphysalis, probably also a mammal-parasite, was taken 

 among grass at Yembung and indeterminate nymphs of Haema- 

 physalis were collected at several places.
