Extract

A recent accession to the collection of the British Museum (Natural History) contains a number of ticks taken in 1927 from a captive Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) in the Zoological Gardens, London. Figures of the two species of ticks concerned were prepared by Mr A. J. E. Terzi for the late Dr W. L. Sambon who intended to describe them as new but died before he had done so. The two species have since been described by other authors, but Mr Terzi's excellent figures are reproduced here (Figs. 1–4), together with a note on the synonymy of one of the species.
