Ixodes canisuqa 1 ^ 

 (mounted on a slide dry) 



Gowanburn, N. Tyne 



5. V. 1901 



Presented by Mr. E. G. Wheler 



Mr. Wheler writes 25. VI. 1910 it is 

 "the only specimen I have ever seen"... 

 "I feel sure that the males of this 

 species are not to be found (unless 

 accidentally) on a host at all & that 

 if wanted the way to get them would be 

 to keep dogs or ferrets in old kennels 

 or boxes where the ticks would find 

 harbourage and seek for them between 

 the boards etc. I referred to this in 

 my account of "British Ticks". This 

 specimen may have come from a dog 

 kennel .
