mérite donc pas la déplorable réputation d’insalubrité qui lui 
est faite. Cependant le Paludisme, quoique en régression, est 
encore de beaucoup l'endémie dominante. Il intervient pour 
limiter de façon fâcheuse le développement économique du pays, 
et il conviendrait d’entreprendre, sans plus tarder, à Cayenne 
et dans les divers centres de la Colonie, une lutte scientifique 
contre la « fièvre des bois ».

Introductory. — During the past fouryears we hâve been sys 
tematicallv studying the flagellâtes found in man and animais 
in the Anglo-Egyplian Sudan. In our first paper we described a 
parasite vvliich we called Octornitus hominis, in our second paper 
we discussed Chilornastix mesnili and the various généra of the 
Tetramitidœ , and in our third paper we described Enteromonas 
hominis as seen in an Egyptian vvoman. The présent is our fourth 
paper dealing with these organisms in the Sudan and contains 
the history ot‘ the infection of a British Officer with da Fonseca’s 
Enteromonas hominis which is now recorded for the third time 
as a human parasite viz., once by da Fonseca in Rio di Janeiro 
and now twice by ourselves i. e. once in Khartoum and once in 
Omdurman.
