than two days, a time totally insufficient to gain a very reliable knowledge as to the 

 existence of cases. However, it can be definitely stated that the disease exists to no large 

 extent in these towns and villages at present. Visits extending to a week or more were 

 made only at Gallabat, Mafaza, Singa, and Sennar. 



In no place was the disease in any way evident, and cases had to be found by careful 

 enquiry and examination. The following facts are cited to show that in some cases 

 the disease is epidemic to a limited degree even at the present time, though in the vast 

 majority of cases I could only find single individuals attacked, the other members of 

 the family or community showing no signs of the disease. 



(1) At Sennar two servants of an official were found very ill with the disease, one 

 died while I was there and the other was apparently dying. Further enquiries elicited 

 the report that two other servants had died in Khartoum after a good deal of fever in 190H, 

 ' Case found on return in Khartoum Military Hospital.
