The author describes a new species of tsetse, collected in the 

 Congo Free State, under the name of Glosmia severini, sp. n. 

 He also states that he has received from Dr. Morstatt of Amani, 

 German East Africa, two male and ten female specimens of G.

 district in January and February 1913. This is the first recorded 

 instance of the occurrence of the species in German East Africa,

Section I. (by Kinghorn and Yorke) deals with Trypanosoma 

 rlwdesiense. When first described it was only known to exist in 

 the Luangwa Valley, but it has become apparent that the disease 

 is much more widely disseminated. It has been found in the 

 districts south of Fort Jameson and to the west of Serenje. The 

 parasite has been found in wild game near Ngoa and in a native 

 dog in a village on the Nyasaland boundary, and in North Western 

 lihodesia it exists in at least one locality between Broken Hill 

 and the Anglo-Belgian boundary. A case of sleeping sickness 

 has recently been diagnosed in Soul hern Rhodesia, but the authors 

 say they are not in a position to state the identity of the organism.
