Extract

I have examined (a) alcoholic and microscopic specimens of Birula's type-material of O. papillipes preserved in the Zoological Museum of the Academy of Sciences, Leningrad, and (b) hundreds of living ticks from different localities in Turkestan which I determined as O. papillipes. The larger number (b) were chiefly supplied by Dr I. A. Moskwin, who, in my laboratory and at the Infectious Diseases Clinic of our Academy, demonstrated that the spirochaete of Turkestan, relapsing fever, is transmitted by this tick.
