The reason for this difference is readily accounted for by the difference in habits in the two families, since the progeny of the Argasidae, reared in the lairs of the hosts, have far better chances of finding a host and of surviving than do the progeny of the Ixodidae which live on their hosts and may drop off to lay their eggs almost anywhere in the wanderings of the host.
