 der Schalfkrankheit und Trypanosomenbefunde bei Sangetiern am Tanganyka. 

 Zeit. f. Hyg. Infek. LXX pp. 1-23, 1911. (Abs. Sleep. Sick. Bur. Bull. 31 pp. 402- 

 407 and 417-418) Sheep and goats shown to be susceptible to Trypanosoma gambiense 

 and may sen^e as reservoirs. The usual life duration of the female Glossina palpalis 

 in captivity was found to be about 4 1-2 months.
