Dr. Macfie writes (18. XI. 1914) of 

 N3088 that the ticks were found that 

 morning on a hedgehog which was 

 moribund, the man who found them said 

 many gorged ?'s dropped off in 

 carrying animal to the laboratory. 

 The blood "was extremely fluid & 

 looked like pale red water. I ccjld 

 find no parasites in it, but there 

 were great numbers of nucleated 

 red corpuscles. The hedgehog died 

 soon after it was brought to me. On 

 dissection all the tissues & organs 

 were found to be extremely pale, but 

 otherwise healthy. One might almost 

 suspect that the animal had been 

 bled to death by the ticks on its back,
