Mr. Gater asked if these = A. 

 testudinarium . C.W, reports 

 they are Ambly . & may be 

 testudinarium - I advised Gater 

 to try & get eggs & raise larvae 

 to make sure. This the first 

 record he believes "of ticks 

 attacking man in this country." 

 The planter put his leg in a 

 hole covered by plant. Slight 

 irritation caused for some 

 weeks. "Malay's say they get 

 them occasionally but we never 

 see them."
