Dr. Wellman writes 28-VII-1906 

 "Several years ago an English lady 

 told me of a small white tick with 

 a red head which appears in the 

 middle of the wet season (Dec- 

 March) in numbers, and the bite of 

 which is \jery painful, causing 

 swellings and constitutional 

 symptoms, faintness, nausea, etc." 

 She sent this in consequence to 

 Wellman (VIM905) in "eau de 

 Cologne" which she said she 

 removed from her skin , its bite 

 resulting in the symptoms she 

 originally detailed to me. The 

 specimen is from Bihe District 

 of Angola, and probably dates from 

 May 1905."
