bank." Sixteen flies were caught on the horses by " pin- 

 ning their feet with a knife-blade (the best way of catching 

 them, as they are as quick as lightning), and the Kaffirs 

 securing some with their hands." The greater number of 

 the flies were caught before doing any damage, and the 

 rest were frightened away. The horses did not contract 

 the disease. The native name for the fly on this river is 

 " im])ugan" (pp. 410-411). 



Low countrij between the Buzi and Pungwi Rkers 

 infested with Tsetse-fly (1891), — "After this I was sent by 

 the Company to try to find a route to the coast along the 

 watershed between the Pungwi and Buzi rivers, free of 

 ' fly ' and therefore suitable for a waggon-road. But in 

 this I was unsuccessful, as I found the whole of the low 

 country between the Buzi and Pungwi rivers to be 

 infested with the Tse-tse-fly " (p. 426), 



Tsetsefly near the Kasaia River [1888], an affluent of 

 the Majili, which flows into the Zambesi about 20 miles 

 above its junction with the Chobe. — " In the afternoon I 

 continued my journey, and that night passed through an 

 extensive mopani forest, to the east of the Kasaia River, 

 in which the Tse-tse-fly still lingers, though in no great 

 numbers " (p. 245), 



Horses stampeded into the fly-infested mopani forest 

 by a herd of zebras, — " The horses had twice passed 

 through the fly-infested forest beyond the Kasaia, but as 

 it was a cloudy day and a high wind was blowing, and the 

 flies there are few and far between at this time of year, I 

 do not think they were " stuck," and, at any rate, they 

 never showed the slightest sign of being in any way 

 affected " (p. 246). 



Tsetse numerous in a strip of forest between the 

 Magoi-ee (or Makoe) and Ungwesi Rivers, Batonga 

 country (p. 215). [The Magoi-ee River "rises a little 

 to the south of U-kesa-kesa, and runs north into the 

 Kafukwi." The Ungwesi runs into the Magoi-ee.]
