TI 7 
February 18th, 1908, despite the rough usage to which they have been 
subjected on the march. 
7. Dogs. Three ‘ kaffir ’ dogs were inoculated from Cases IX 
* and XXXIII. The temperature remained normal, and organisms 
were never seen. One appeared to lose condition during the two 
months following inoculation, but later regained it, and with the 
others is now alive. 
8. Rabbit. A rabbit was inoculated on August 3rd with I'oc.c. 
of blood from Case IX, when parasites were present. Organisms 
were never seen, and it continued in perfect health until November 
14th, when it suddenly died. On post-mortem no signs of trypano¬ 
somiasis could be found. 
9. White Rats. Five white rats were inoculated simultaneously 
with the five guinea-pigs. None have shown any disturbance in 
health, and four are still alive. The fifth was inoculated in November 
with a dog trypanosome, and died. 
INFECTION WITH T. THEILERI 
During the routine blood examinations of cattle Nos. XVI, XXI 
and XXII, a large trypanosome was seen on one occasion in each. 
Further examinations in fresh and centrifuged specimens were 
negative. In Case XVI this trypanosome was seen three days after 
T. dimorphon had been expelled by means of atoxyl, and four days 
before its reappearance. 
Case No. XXIII. A bull naturally infected with T. dimorfhon. August and. 
Inoculated subcutaneously with 90-0 c.c. citrated blood of Case XXII, which 
showed T. iheileri that morning, T. dimorfhon also present. The animal died 
of T. dimorfhon infection three weeks later without ever showing T. theileri again. 
TRYPANOSOMIASIS IN SHEEP {T. DIMORPHON) 
A European who visited the camp informed us of mortality 
amongst his sheep, which were kept in a camp on the Lukanda river, 
45 miles North of Broken Hill, No specific details were obtainable, 
but it appears that between 30 and 40 had been sick and had died or 
been destroyed. Gl. morsitans exists all round, but infection by 
D. hepattcum was suspected. A visit was paid to this camp on 
November 23rd, during the owner’s absence, and three sheep found 
alive. One was in extremis, and blood examination revealed the 
presence of T. dimorphon. On post-mortem, there was an excess of 
fluid in all cavities, the lymphatic glands much swollen and oedematous 
but pale, the spleen was enlarged, soft and rounded.
