  Altogether 
  9

  were 
  shot 
  in

  that 
  presence

  caused

  were 
  shot 
  under 
  more 
  favourable 
  

   conditions

  the 
  two 
  noted 
  above. 
  If 
  a 
  situtunga 
  had 
  been 
  shot 
  under 
  the 
  

   conditions 
  cited 
  in 
  the 
  second 
  case, 
  absence 
  of 
  fly 
  would 
  have 
  caused 
  surprise. 
  In 
  

   view 
  of 
  the 
  infestation 
  of 
  this 
  particular 
  point, 
  and 
  of 
  no 
  visible 
  cause 
  for 
  it 
  except 
  

   the 
  frequency 
  and 
  regularity 
  with 
  which 
  it 
  was 
  visited 
  by 
  bush-pigs 
  in 
  search 
  of 
  

   the 
  falling 
  guavas, 
  considerable 
  surprise 
  was 
  felt 
  that 
  no 
  flies 
  were 
  following 
  this 
  

   animal. 
  T^e 
  evidence 
  concerning 
  preference 
  displayed 
  by 
  Glossina 
  for 
  this 
  host 
  is 
  

   conflicting,
