from the Transvaal coming under my care is not so large as from other 
parts of South Africa. I have not therefore personally much evidence 
on the subject, but a medical missionary, Dr Liegme, in a paper he 
read before the Society for Advancement of Science in South Africa, 
states that haematuria is frequent in the Spelonkeu. Table I demon¬ 
strates the Zulu to be infected, and we know that the European 
population in parts of Natal likewise have the disease. I have had 
several cases among Amapondo and Amaxosa natives of Cape Colony, 
and as I have already stated the disease is prevalent in many places in 
the Eastern Province. Of the Western Province, I cannot speak 
definitely. British Basutoland has, so far, produced no patients for me. 
Damaraland is also free as far as I can judge by examining recruits 
from that country. Of the Orange River Colony, I am not in a position 
to speak decidedly, but I think one may anticipate that a certain 
percentage of the population on the north-eastern border will be 
infected.
