Appendix IV 



Geographical Origin for Ixodoidea in 

 the Nuttall Tick Collection 



At the time of Professor Nuttall 's death 

 in 1937 there were 70 nations in the 

 world community. By January 1, 1984, 

 that number had increased to 168. In 

 the following list of countries, terri- 

 tories, islands, and so forth, a few 

 concepts should be borne in mind. If a 

 tick collection is missing, I have 

 listed the locality as it originally 

 appeared in Nuttall 's handwritten 

 catalogue. If a tick collection is 

 present, I have, if necessary, updated 

 the locality to what is the currently 

 recognized name. Thus, the reader will 



find both Gold Coast and Ghana, Persia 

 and Iran, Ceylon and Sri Lanka, ana so 

 forth, in this listing. In most cases, 

 I have used the short form of the name 

 of a country, e.g., Algeria, not 

 Democratic and Popular Republic of 

 Algeria. However, in a few instances, 

 it was necessary for clarity to use the 

 official long form of the name, e.g.. 

 People's Republic of China, not China, 

 to prevent confusion with the political 

 area listed as Taiwan. I have also 

 retained the names of certain familiar 

 islands although they may not be 

 independent. For example, it is more 

 convenient to locate a tick collection 

 from the Galapagos Islands by looking it 

 up under that name rather than looking 

 under Ecuador.
