III. For the study of trypanosomiasis in mules there have been available the stained 

 slides of blood prepared I ly Captain Iliad fioni mules wliiiii were brought from the lialir- 

 El-Ghazal. The main source of material was, however, found in the three mules sufifering 

 from the disease at Taufikia. As stated, a dog was inoculated from one of these animals 

 and brotight to Khartoum, where it developed the disease. The symptoms and post-mortem 

 appearances in mules have been very carefully described by Captain Head.* The 

 accompanying photographs, Figs. (56 and t)7, kindly given me by Colonel Gritlith, I'.V.O., 

 demonstrate the aspect of an affecteil aiiinial in an advanced state of the disease.
