Extract

Ixodes thompsoni was established on three females collected from a cat on Lundy Island (Arthur, 1955). Further collections on Lundy from a cat since that date suggest that the species is relatively common on the Island and we now have the following specimens: cat, Lundy Island, 16. iii. 1955 (1955/81), two females; cat, Lundy Island, 20. iv. 1955 (1955/30), two females with two males in copula; cat, Lundy Island, 31. iii. 1955 (1955/46), five females with four males copulating and one free male.
