Abstract
These notes are the result of an examination of the literature and are concerned with geographical distribution. The Review of Applied Entomology, Series B, and the Tropical Diseases Bulletin were consulted and many papers were seen in the original; references to a selection of the more important of these is appended herewith. Of the ticks of the genus Ornithodoros occurring in the Old World about 40 names appear in published papers; of these about 20 seem to be valid species and five are well known and readily recognised: erraticus, lahorensis, moubata, savignyi and tholozani.
