The material in this paper is the result of 11 years of collecting over the accessible portions of Alberta, with the exception of the settled area from Lac La Biche to Fort McMurray. The area north from Grimshaw to Fort Vermilion has not been surveyed in detail, and further collections will be made. Nine species are recorded: Dermacentor andersoni Stiles, D. albipictus (Packard), Haemaphysalis chordeilis (Packard), H. leporis-palustris (Packard), Ixodes angustus Neumann, I. kingi Bishopp, I. sculptus Neumann, I. spinipalpis Hadwen and Nuttall, and Otobius lagophilus Cooley and Kohls. Maps showing the known distribution of the several species in Alberta are presented.
