less developed than in the forest species; they are shorter, the 

 colour invariably lighter and the pubescence much less marked. 



The form found on the Lower Casaniance, which is refractory 

 to TvjjpanosoiiHi cazalhoui, is intermediate between these two 

 extreme types. The author thinks that tlie species described by 

 Newstead under the name of fusciyes may well be considered as 

 the Eastern form of palpalis', it is represented in the Paris 

 Museum by a number of specimens collected by Cronier from 

 the Belgian Congo on the volcanos of Kivou, at a ]i eight of 

 5.000 to 5,500 feet. 



The author regards this question of the geographical races 

 of Glossina as of great importance in relation to the transmission 

 of the different trypanosomes, and considers that these morpho- 

 logical details and the examination of local conditions are worthy 

 of careful stud v.

It had already been observed by the autliors. in .1907, that 

 in certain high parts of Kabylia, where human beings are more 

 numerous than sheep, Oestrus ovis, believed to be innocuous to 

 man, ejected its larvae upon the conjunctival and nasal mucous 

 membrane of human beings. It is now reported from the 

 Ahaggar juountains, in Central Sahara, that at a height of from 

 4,500 feet to 7,800 feet above sea-level the Tuaregs are assailed 

 in the spring by flies which lay their " eggs '' — compared by 

 the sufferers to those of lice — on the conjunctiA-a and the nasal 

 mucous membrane, causing them much trouble from March to 

 June. The Tuareg name for the insect. " Tamne," is the Targui 

 form of the word " Thimni," used for it by the Kabyles.
