The mites collected by Messrs. Mann and Baker belong to two 
families, Ixodidee and Parasitidz (Gamaside). Several are the 
same as those described from Paraguay by Berlese; the ticks are 
species common in Brazil; of the six species described as new, 
the Trachuropoda is the most remarkable. Besides these there 
are some immature specimens, mostly of the Parasitidee, that 
cannot be named.
