It will be seen that oviposition continued for 20 days from May 9, a total of 2,650 eggs being deposited. Eggs deposited May 14 com- menced hatching June 21, an incubation period of 38 days. Two seed ticks from eggs de- posited May 14-25 were alive November 6, a pe- riod of more than 5 months from deposition. The fact that this pro- longed survival included summer months shows remarkable vitality in the seed ticks of this species. Seed ticks of Margaropus annulatus seldom survive over 3 months in the summer. GULF COAST TICK. (Amblyomma maculatum Koch.)

This species was described by Koch in 1844 from "Carohna," no host being given. Prof. H. A. Morgan calls our attention to the fact that it was referred to as Dermacentor ocddentalis Marx by Niles.« It seems to be the common species along the Gulf coast of Louisiana, and Texas. (See figs. 11, 12, 13, and PI. Ill, fig. 6.) It was taken by Mr. J. D. Mitchell of this Bureau from cattle, horses, dogs, and man in Cameron Parish, La., and Calhoun, Jackson, and Victoria counties, Tex. , In the Marx collection there is a male specimen oBul. Va. Agric.
