to Iringa. It is also found in villages in the Rubeho Mountains and in 

 places off the caravan routes (R. Koch, xi. 1905, p. 1866). Specimens had 

 been previously collected by Kramer (labelled A. schinzii in Hamburg 

 Mus.) and Stuhlmann in German East Africa (identified by Nn. 1901, 

 p. 256). A native from Kilima-ndjaro told Brumpt (p. 578) that the 

 tick and fever were well known in his country, as was also the case with 

 the natives of Galla. Dutton and Todd (1905, map) note its presence 

 at Tabora, and Donitz (1906, p. 145) at Pokomani, Wituland. There are 

 specimens from Quango in the Berlin Museum (Nn. 1901, p. 256). 

 Zanzibar Island : it is common in prisons there according to Brumpt, 

 and this locality is mapped by Dutton and Todd. 



In British East and Central Africa, Christy (1903, p. 187) notes it as 

 fairly common in Usoga, Uganda and Buda, and at Wadelai on the Nile 

 (North of Lake Albert). Neumann (1901, p. 256) and Pocock (1907) 

 record it from Namaqualand and Transvaal. Dutton and Todd (1905) 

 state it is reported to be present in Shescheke, Rhodesia, and Wellman 

 (ms.) states it occurs in Bechuanaland, Cape Colony and German South 

 West Africa. In Portuguese East Africa at Tete (Livingstone, 1857, 

 p. 382) where it occurs to-day. Wellman (ms.) states it occurs at 

 Mozambique. In West Africa its presence was noted in Angola, at 

 Ambaca, and it was stated to be common in native huts of the country 

 by Livingstone (1857, p. 382). It is from this country that Murray's 

 types came. Specimens from Angola were identified by Neumann 

 (1901, p. 256). It is still found at Ambaca and in Malange, Bihe, 

 Bailundo, Andulo, Caconda, Chiyaka, Benguella, Lovaleland, Moxico and 

 Landana, according to Wellman (in ms.). In the Congo Free State its 

 presence was recorded at Nyangwe, on the Lualaba river, by Livingstone 

 (1874, n. p. 115). Dutton and Todd (1905, p. 123 and map) state that 

 it certainly occurs at Lokandu, Ukungwa, Mulamba, Mwana, Maketa, 

 Nyangwe and Kasongo, whilst it is reported to occur in Kimpudi and 

 from Popokabaka to Francis Joseph Falls, at Katola on the Kasai River, 

 at points along the route from Kasongo to Baudovinville (west of Tan- 

 ganyika) and along the western frontier to the shores of Lake Albert 

 Edward. It certainly occurs northward at Beni. Neumann (1901, 

 p. 256) recorded it from the Congo and from the upper Zambesi at 

 Loango, Landana, where it was collected by Foa. Dutton and Todd 

 consider that the tick came into the Free State from the East Coast 

 with Arabs, and into the Oriental Province and Cataract Region with 

 traders from Portuguese territory to the South where the tick existed in 

 Livingstone's time. The rivers are the present highways. "A glance at
