[HEWITT] CANADIAN TICKS 231 



on the host, as no copulation was observed when the ticks were after- 

 wards kept together in a large glass container. 



This tick is one of the most widely distributed species. Hunter 

 and Bishopp (1910) state that the U.S. Bureau of Entomology has a 

 record of 1,033 ticks of this species having been taken on two rabibts 

 in western Montana. I have found them almost equally abundant 

 on rabbits in Manitoba. They are usually attached about the 

 rabbit's ears and head and their numbers may be sufficiently great 

 to weaken the host and render its capture by other animals more 

 easy. ^

Locality. 



Aweme, Man. 



The capture of this species by Mr. Norman Criddle in the above 

 locality in southern Manitoba as recorded by Hadwen (1912) is of 

 interest as it had not been collected north of Illinois and Michigan 

 on the central part of the continent according to the distribution map 

 of Hooker, Bishopp and Wood (1912), who also state that the Marx 

 collection contains one unengorged female from Labrador.
