This book will deal with the Classification, Structure and Biology of 
Ticks, the study of the group having occupied the authors for several years. 
Practically all that has been published on the subject has received adequate 
consideration. 
The book will be issued in about four parts, which will be complete in 
themselves but are designed to form a volume of about 500 pages when all 
the parts have been published. Each part will be issued in a stiff paper 
cover and will include a bibliography printed on one side of thin paper so 
that the references can be conveniently cut out and gummed on index cards. 
A complete bibliography, including all the publications cited in each part, 
will conclude the volume.
