DESCRIPTION OF PLATE VII. 
All the specimens were drawn with the aid of a Zeiss binocular dissecting microscope 
by daylight. Only the scutum of the ticks is shown in each instance. Figs. 1, 2 and 
5 were drawn from specimens within about a week of their emergence from the uymphal 
skin on the journey from the Lower Congo.
