Three figures of Glossina (probably Gl. palUdipes, 

 Austen) on p. 8 (after Bruce). 



According to the authors, the Tsetse-fly occurs in the 

 vicinity of Lake Tchad : in an enumeration on p. 2 of the 

 localities in which Tsetse-fly disease is known to exist, 

 they state that it is particularly prevalent in the region 

 of Lake Tchad, on the banks of the Chari and its 

 afiluents ; adding in a foot-note that the statement is 

 based upon information supplied by Inspector-General 

 Kermorgant, who received it from Surgeon- Major Morel, 

 of the French Colonial Army. Specimens of the Tsetse- 

 fly were enclosed in General Kermorgant's letter. 



It is stated on the authority of Blanchard {Bulletin de 

 VAcademie de medecine, 3« serie, xlvi, 29 Oct. 1901), who 

 quotes a writer named Brumpt, that at Imi, on the Webi 

 Shebeli, Somaliland, all the camels of a mission, as well 

 as the mules and donkeys, succumbed to a Trypanosoma. 

 The epizooty observed by Brumpt did not appear to be 

 propagated by the ordinary Tsetse-fly, but by a closely 

 allied species of Glossina [doubtless Gl. longipennis, Corti]. 



During the Abyssinian campaign of 1867 there was 

 great mortality among the transport animals, and a 

 veterinary surgeon named Hallen,* proceeding from 

 Abyssinia to India, was struck by the resemblance 

 between Surra and the Abyssinian disease.

" The Uganda Protectorate " (London : Hutchin- 

 son & Co.), Vol. I. 



"Either there is no true Tsetse-fly in the Uganda 

 Protectorate or it is not able to obtain and introduce 

 into the bodies of domestic animals the malarial germs 

 which cause Tsetse fever. Therefore, theoretically there 

 is no part of the Uganda Protectorate in which cattle, 

 sheep, goats, and horses cannot be kept " (pp. 288-289). 



* The late Ldeut. -Colonel J. H. B. Hallen, A.V.D., who accompanied 

 Lord Napier's expeditionary force to Magdala, and was afterwards for some 

 time Chief of the Veterinary School at Bombay.
