transmitting ticks, the literature is found for the most pari in the 
governmental publications of South Africa and Australia, although 
recently important memoirs have been issued in Germany and France. 
A- in the preceding section, we give only the more important publi- 
cations that are now available. For a very complete bibliography 
of this subject down to 1903, containing 221 titles, see A. Schmidt 
below. In Section C, relating to ticks as transmitters of human 
diseases, there 4 is at present but a scanty literature. It is practi- 
cally all referred to by us. InSection D, relating more particularly 
to the classification of ticks, practically all of the works dealing 
with North American species are listed, together with the more impor- 
tant foreign publications. For a more extended list, see Salmon and 
Stiles, 1D01. below.
