176 ABUNDANCE OF TSETSE NEAR KAEEMA. 



Eleven oxen, purchased in Loanda and taken to 

 Tschintschotscho to be trained as baggage-animals, soon 

 died (1875). But although several specimens of a species 

 of Tsetse-fly were taken there, the deaths of the animals 

 are not considered to be due to the insect, but rather to 

 change of climate and food, since the symptoms were 

 carefully watched throughout the course of the disease.*

"Thursday, \lth. — Bitterly cold morning; passed 

 through a sort of gorge in the mountains ; very heavy 

 dews at night, and grass high and very wet, showering 

 dew on us ; . . . Thousands of Tsetse, nearly driving us 

 mad. On passing River Fuma we entered Mongway 

 district, this river dividing Fipa from it."
