country  between  the  lake  shore  and  tlie  liills,  starting  about  12°  S, 
and  extending  down  the  Shire  river  for  some  distance. 
C.  In  North  Western  Rhodesia. 
The  distribution  lias  been  given  in  our  earlier  report,*  and 
includes  most  of  the  country  north  of  tlie  hook  of  the  Kafue  river. 
IJ.  In  the  Katanga  district  of  tlie  Belgian  Congo. 
According  to  Massey, t  C7.  morsitans  is  pre.sent  over  most  of  this 
territory,  and  we  have  established  the  continuity  of  its  area  of 
distribution  m  the  Katanga  with  the  bounding  areas  in  N.W.  and 
N.E.  Rhodesia. 
3.  Glossina  f  usen. 
A.  Tn  North-Eastern  Rhodesia. 
A  specimen  of  this  species  is  reported:];  to  have  been  caught  on  the 
Luangwa  river  close  to  its  junction  with  the  Zambesi. 
B.  In  Nyasaland. 
It  lias  been  caught  on  the  road  running  past  the  elephant  marsh, 
near  Chiromo,  and  also  near  Kaporo’s  village  on  Lake  Nyasa,  to  the 
north  of  Karonga.  It  is  not  very  common  at  either  of  these  places, 
and  only  one  or  two  specimens  have  ever  been  caught  at  a  time.  We 
failed  to  find  it  near  Karonga  in  December  last. 
IV.  HABITS  OF  GLOSSINA  PALPALIS 
Our  observations  accord,  in  most  particulars,  with  those  which 
have  been  given  by  other  workers.  On  many  occasions  we  were 
struck  by  the  apparent  indifference  these  flies  dispilayed  in  the 
presence  of  food,  and  although  they  would  alight  on  the  bare  skin  of 
a  native,  they  would  often  remain  quiescent  for  a  considerable  length 
of  time  without  making  any  effort  to  feed.  In  this  respect  they  differ 
most  markedly  from  67.  niorsilans,  for  this  species,  as  a  rule,  does  not
