146 J. B. DAVEY — HABITS OF GLOSSINA FUSCA. 



caught at 4 p.m. and one after sunset (biting a native). Fairly thick forest 

 tiurrounding village ; about half a mile from water^s edge. Wet season. 

 No other species of Glossina caught, but 6r. morsitans plentiful a mile away, 

 (xoats are kept in the village. Only two specimens obtained here." 



In a letter received from Mr. S. A. Neave as this goes to press, he states 

 that he has taken one specimen of G.fusca on the Muwona stream, some 

 ten miles north of Chiromo. He considers it highly probable that this 

 species occurs throughout a wide area in Nyasaland, but that owing to the 

 small numbers in which it occurs in any one spot, it is frequently overlooked 

 unless a prolonged search is made. 



The only place south of the Zambesi in which G. fusca is at present known 

 to occur is Bamboo Creek, on the Beira Railway, where it was taken by 

 Mr. LI. E. W. Bevan. 



In view of the possibility that this species may prove to be a carrier of 

 sleeping sickness any details as to its occurrence or habits are of importance, 

 -especially as regards Nyasaland and Rhodesia. — Ed.]
