My theory is that the mother of such ticks lays her egg in tha hair of the animals, and by thn warmth of ka!danimils the Insect is hatched out and there remains until it Is full grown, anJ perhaps restocks the brute again ami Bgain, unless tome arti ficial means a:n used to rid them of tho In sect.
