“BUSH FOWL” 
A few trypanosomes, measuring about 50^ in length, were seen 
in a red-legged bush fowl at Tshofa. Stained preparations were not 
made. The parasite was remarkable for the extraordinary length 
and the flagellum-like fineness of its posterior extremity. About one 
quarter of the total body length lay posterior to the blepharoplast.
