During the first third of this century. 

 Professor George H. F. Nuttall of Cam- 

 bridge University amassed what, at that 

 time, was the world's largest collec- 

 tion of ticks (Acari: Ixodoidea). He 

 kept detailed records on all Ixodoidea 

 he received, including a three-volume 



handwritten catalogue. This publica- 

 tion presents a biography of G. H. F. 

 Nuttall, his tick catalogue in its 

 original and updated form, and four 

 appendixes listing type specimens of 

 tick species, species names of Ixodoi- 

 dea, host names, and localities found 

 in the catalogue. 



KEYWORDS: Acari, biography, George
