 reports that F. Pickard-Cambridge collected specimens from shingle 

 on the beach and from hedgehog at Dungeness. Coward, 1907, p. 323,

 the nest of a plover, Oedienus scolopax, the tick having been found 

 lying on the ground beneath two young birds by C. Oldham, vi. 1903. 

 Apparently the first record of the tick in England is that of Neumann \ 

 1897, p. 330, who refers to a specimen found on sheep (coll. Bur. 

 Animal Industry, Washington D.C.)] Wales: (Liverpool No. 11) from

 Nurnberg] ; the tick was first recorded by Knuth in 1911-1913, who 

 found it in North Schleswig-Holstein. Through the courtesy of 

 Prof. Knuth we have been able to examine his numerous specimens, 

 some of which he has allowed us to retain. The specimens were 

 collected in four districts as follows : (a) in Kreis Apenrade :
