sive evidence that the presence of "big game" is not essential 

 for the existence of these flies, and that the destruction of the 

 large mammals does not necessarily destroy the tsetse fly. The 

 deduction is based on the following evidence. According to 

 Sharpe (55), when the rinderpest destroyed much of the game 

 in Nyassaland, there was no diminution of the number of tsetses. 

 J. S. Hamilton (25) asserts that in certain regions hunters have 

 almost destroyed the large game without causing any percep- 

 tible' diminution in the number of tsetses. Both of these men 

 assert that the fly often exists in great numbers in regions where 

 there is no large game and is sometimes absent from regions 

 where there is an abundance of game.
