It will beseen thai oviposition continued for 20 days from May 9, 
a total of 2,650 eggs being deposited. Eggs deposited May 14 com- 
menced hatching June 21, an incubation period of 38 (Lays. Two 
seed ticks from eggs de- 
posited May 14-25 were 
alive November 6, a pe- 
riod of more than 5 
months from deposition. 
The fact that this pro- 
longed survival included 
summer months shows 
remarkable vitality in the 
seed ticks of this specie-. 
Seed ticks of Margaropus 
annulatus seldom survive 
over 3 months in the 
summer.
