The giant ticks of the Malayan rhinoceros

More recently (June, 1933) Major Vernay commissioned Major Rawley to secure, if possible, another R. sondaicus. An animal believed to be of that species was located in Selangor; but, after being shot, it proved to be a Sumatran Rhinoceros, Rhinoceros sumatrensis Cuvier. Again the only ectoparasites met with were ticks; these were very few in number, eight in all being collected. Specimens of Amblyomma infestum examined.-One male and three females (two partly engorged), off Rhinoceros sumatrensis Cuvier, shot on the Bernam River, Selangor, Federated Malay States (Major Rawley).
