Ceo?) 
TANGANYIKA TERRITORY.— Kilosa, several males and one female, fixed on 
the sutures between the plates of the carapace of turtles, Kinixys belliana Gray, 
January 15 and 23, and March 1, 1921 (Arthur Loveridge). 
Krnya Cotony.— Mtoto Andei Station, one male off a lizard, Agama 
agama caudospina Meek (Arthur Loveridge). 
The specimens from Kinixys were recorded under the name ‘‘A. marmo- 
reum”’ by A. Loveridge (1923, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, p. 925). <A careful 
study of Robinson’s figures and descriptions and a comparison of specimens 
of the two species leaves no doubt that these turtle ticks belong to A. nuttalli 
and not to A. marmoreum. The two species, although closely allied, appear 
to be valid. The males differ markedly in the shape of the coxal spurs of the 
anterior (I) and posterior (IV) legs.

Lippria.— Lenga Town, numerous males and females, many hexapod lar- 
vae, and one nymph, off an arboreal pangolin, Uromanis longicaudata (Bris- 
son), August 21, 1926 (Glover Allen). 
The presence of numerous hexapod larvae and one nymph indicates that 
this tick undergoes its complete life-cycle on the same host. It is apparently 
a common parasite of West African pangolins, although I have also seen speci- 
mens taken from the giant forest pig, Hylochoerus meinertzhagent, in the Belgian 
Congo. Most of the females and males which I collected on the pangolin were 
fixed upon the soft skin of the venter, near the anus.
