Extract

During the handling of about 10,000 ticks in the course of insecticidal tests many abnormalities of the legs were encountered. Most of the cases were deficiencies due to the partial regeneration of a leg damaged in the previous nymphal stage. Two cases of special interest were not deficiencies, but exhibited supernumerary segments of leg.
