Cromer, a letter of introduction to whom I had obtained in 

 England from the Marquess of Salisbury, showed very great in- 

 terest in the expedition on many occasions and in various ways, 

 as did also Sir Reginald Wingate, the Sirdar and Governor 

 General of the Soudan, Boutros Ghali Pasha, Minister of the 

 Foreign Affairs and Yacoub Artin Pasha Under Secretary of 

 State for Public Education. The same is, indeed, true of both 

 the Anglo-Egyptian and the Egyptian officials with whom we 

 were brought in contact, and though it is impossible here to 

 mention all by name, I cannot, without a special word of 

 thanks, pass by some among them. Dr. Keating, Director of 

 the School of Medicine in Cairo, who very generously arranged 

 for us to make use of the excellent pathological laboratory be- 

 longing to that institution for the pursuit of our experimental 

 work. All the Professors at the School of Medicine, whose 

 acquaintance I had the pleasure of making while working there, 

 did all in their power to assist us. Special thanks are also due 

 to Dr. Ruffer, President of the Quarantine Board, who very 

 kindly permitted Cand. Odhner and myself to work at the Qua- 

 rantine Camp, and who, through the agency of Dr. Zachariades 

 Bey, Superintendent of the Camp, procured us numbers of other 

 facilities. While we were at Omdurman the help accorded us 

 by Major Matthews Bey, Civil Secretary for the Soudan, was 

 quite invaluable. The services rendered us by two of the scientists 

 attached to the School of Medicine call for particular mention, 

 those of Professor Dr. A. Looss, an old friend of mine, and those 

 of Dr. Walter Innes Bey; the latter gentleman, whose acquain- 

 tance I made then for the first time, attached himself to our 

 party, remaining with us for nearly three months and making 



xcursion to Kaka and back with us as my personal guest. 



Lastly, but by no means in the least degree, I must here 

 acknowledge the great debt of gratitude I am under to Herr
