NOTE: re lot 1650; not to be published, for private information only. These 

 ticks were received through the courtesy of Professor Meuleman (Brussels), 

 who procured them for me from a Director of a large cattle raising company, 

 who begged him (Meuleman) not to divulge the place whence the ticks came as 

 the Government might get interested in cattle diseases there and worry the 

 company. I can get a good supply from the co. in September when the rains 

 set in again. All the ticks came from the Island of Mateba, near Boma, 

 Belgian Congo. I am also not to mention that Meulman sent these ticks, as 

 it would be known at once whence they came.
