Sent by Dr. Rupert Blue 



Dr. Blue's letter, dated 31. X. 1911, 

 states: 



"These ticks are found in the 

 Coast Ranges of California. The 

 bite is very much feared by cattle- 

 men in the Santa Clara and Monterey 

 Hills, and it is stated that severe 

 reactions follow at times, such as 

 fever, prostration, sweating and 

 headaches. There is the possibil- 

 ity of its conveying a Spirochaete 

 of some kind." 



Dr. Blue encloses a newspaper cutting 

 which states that it occurs in the 

 Mount Hamilton Range, that it attacks 

 man, beasts and birds, and is 

 nocturnal. The hill cattlemen call 

 it the "bird bug."
