^{page 411 note 1} In the original article in Science-Gossip (Vol. VIII., p. 39) the name of Ixodes reduvius Leach, was adopted, following Neumann's classification. He now points out in his fourth Mémoire that this is an error, as Leach was describing a different parasite. The name reduvius should be therefore deleted, and Ixodes ricinus Latreille, substituted. This species is locally known as the “Grass-tick” in the North of England, and is one of the commonest British species.
