It is stated that the trypanosome found in Eritrean camels is Try- 

 panosoma evansi and is identical with that occurring in other parts of 

 North Africa, there being no appreciable difference in morphology, 

 pathogenicity for various animals, transmission by flies other than 

 Ghssitia or clinical symptoms in affected animals.

This paper reviews the available information as to the various 

 methods of combating mange in horses, mules and donkeys, due to 

 Sarcoptes scabiei var. equi. The biology of this mite is dealt with 

 briefly.

The financial value of anti-malarial work on the Island of Brioni, 

 in the Adriatic off the coast of Istria, is emphasised. Known as the 

 " Island of the Dead," it was purchased in 1880 for £8,000 and in 1902, 

 after it had been officially declared free from malaria, it was valued 

 at £200,000. The methods employed are described.

In the chapter dealing with insects noxious to man in the Amazon 

 region, an account is given of ants and other biting insects. The 

 pium, a small biting fly, which is most troublesome, is confined to the 

 banks of rivers. No typical ulcers due to Leishmania were found in 

 the natives in the regions where these flies were most abundant. 

 Even more dreaded are minute orange Trombidiid mites, against 

 which clothing affords no protection. The common house-fly [^Musca 

 doinestim] appears to be absent, nor do carrion flies seem to occur. 

 Mosquitos were practically absent save on one or two occasions.
