title: [The absolute and relative abundance of imagoes of the taiga tick (Ixodidae) in the dark coniferous-deciduous valley forests of the northwestern spurs of the eastern Sayan].
abstract: Additions to the method of estimating the absolute and relative numbers of the pasture ticks in test areas are proposed. Additions take in attention the influence of ticks immigrating to the test area in dependence upon the isolation rate of that area. It has been stated that in the period 1987-1991 the mean relative number of I. persulcatus (mean tick number per 1 flag-kilometer of three decades) was 48, 27, 57, 29 and 38; the absolute tick number on test area (tick number per 1 hectare)--1590, 691, 1194, 641 and 668; the absolute tick number near the field station--1402, 647, 1496, 668 and 1108 respectively.
