Dr. Stephens supplies the following 

 history: Guillemots chiefly, razorbills 

 less^and puffins (a few pairs only) 

 breed on the cliffs. The birds were 

 beginning to lay at this period which 

 may account for the few ticks captured. 

 The cliffs are said to be "crawling" 

 with them at other times (later in the 

 season ). These found under stones and 

 in cracks in the earth a few inches 

 down. I found one copulating pair in a 

 crack hen alive they are about the colour 

 of a Belgian hare, rather greener not so 

 yellow. No larvae were found.
