 North- West frontier of India. Jour. Roy. Army Med. Corps, Vol. 19, No. 14, Octo- 

 ber, 1912, pp. 447-452. Includes notes on Phlebotomus; the flies are sometimes so 

 numerous as to make evacuation of barracks necessary.

 {Stomoxys caldtrans). Pub. Health Rep. Vol. 27, No. 43, October 25, 1912, pp. 1733- 

 1735. Stomoxys allowed to bite infected monkeys and then transferred to uninfected 

 monkeys which later died of the disease. These experiments confirm those made 

 by Rosenau.
