TRANSMISSION OF TEXAS FEVER. 129
ticks on an animal may have been overlooked, since they are still quite
small when animals succumb in the acute stage. Moreover, they may
have attached themselves in places not regularly selected by the young
ticks (inner aspect of thighs and escutcheon), in which case they
would have been quite certainly overlooked. On the whole we must
confess that the infection of these two animals is a matter the obscur-
ity of which can not be cleared up. They are the only cases of Texas
fever which have occurred on the station fields during the four sum-
mers of experimentation which are not directly traceable to Southern
cattle carrying ticks, to ticks alone, or to direct transferrence of blood
from sick native or healthy Southern animals to susceptible natives by
inoculation.
