A demonstration of anti-malaria work was conducted during the 

 summer of 1919 for which purpose a grant of about £2,000 was allowed 

 from the emergency fund. The cHmate and topography of the country 

 are described. Anopheles qimdrimaculatus occidentalis proved to be the 

 predominant mosquito. The project included the control of mosquito 

 breeding and the treatment and protection of persons. This involved 

 oiling and draining of pools and the screening of houses as well as 

 general prophylaxis. The measures successfully adopted in other 

 projects have been followed in every instance and are described.

— Jl. Dept. Agric., Pretoria, i, no. 1, April 1920, pp. 40-44. 



From several districts of the Union of South Africa complaints 

 liave been made with regard to the ineflS.cacy of various proprietary 

 brands of sheep dips. Experiments have shown that the salt content 

 of the local waters influences the solubility of the dip and that further 

 analyses and tests are necessary to determine the most suitable dip 

 for a given locahty.

Owing to the abundance of Tahanus taeniola and T. ditaeniatus in 

 the Suez Canal Zone during 1915, a considerable number of cases of 

 trypanosomiasis occurred in army camels. No cases of this disease 

 are recorded from the same region for 1916, but both the Tabanids 

 and the disease were prevalent in certain locahties of the western 

 oases. During 1917 additional information was gained on the distribu- 

 tion of try panosome- carrying Tabanids.
