To this list must also be added the following : — 
(i) Numerous trypanosomes were found by Otto Feh- 
landt in the blood of a freshly killed otter near 
the east shore of Lake Tanganyika. They were 
dimorphic. He thinks that the carrier is Glossina 
palpalis, because the otter was killed in a 'pal- 
\ palis area (‘ Sleeping Sickness Bulletin/ No. 29, 
p. 824). 
(ii) Crocodiles are well known to carry a trypanosome 
in their blood. (T. grayi.) 
(iii) Trypanosomes were found by microscopical examim 
ation in the blood of an elephant from the Tana 
Eiver District in British East Africa by Dr. P. H. 
Eoss, in 1911.
