THE SPIROCHETE OP EGYPTIAN EELAPSING FEVER 75 



man. It is, perhaps, a little surprising that more has not been done in Egypt to clear 

 np this important question. For those desirous of entering more fully into the matter, 

 I append to the attached references a list of recent papers likely to be of use. Some 

 of these are mentioned by Captain Bousfield. Mr. George Buchanan has executed the 

 drawings and prepared the chart with his usual care and skill. 



*I wrote Dr. Strong about his cases and he has very kindly replied to the effect that " the case infected 

 apparently by Up. dultnniwas observed in a man whom I believe had previously been a sailor on one of the steamers 

 which landed at Port Said. I inoculated white mice with his blood which later showed the parasites. It seem^ 

 quite pnsxihlr that the ease wight hare lieen an impm-ted one." The italics are mine. Dr. Strong does not 

 furnish inform.ition regarding the .S'/'. recurrent lis cases. — A.B.
