On  ^  Scotsdale  near  Chmsali,  we  found  cattle,  sheep  and 
goats  naturally  infected.  One  of  the  infected  cattle  was  a  calf  four 
mon  hs  old.  The  owner  s  .son  said  that  the  cattle  habitually  grazed 
on  the  grass  flats  just  below  the  farm,  but  that  the  calf  remaiLd

The  trypanosome  at  Broken  Hill  was  T.  dimorphon  and  that  at

While  investigating  an  outbreak  of  trypanosomiasis  in  Portuguese 
East  Africa  where  Glossma  is  said  to  be  unknown,  Theilert  haf  also 
met  with  an  organism  responding  to  the  tadpoles  of  T.  dimorphon 
Here  again  other  biting  flies  must  be  incriminated.
