23 -It will be obvious from the above summary that further informa¬ tion regarding the distribution of Trypanosomiasis in the Sudan is required, (v) Strongylosis of Camels.

On making two post-mortems on camels (one died and one destroyed on account of chronic debility and intermittent diarrhoea) the abomasum was found to be acutely congested in longitudinal lines, the mucous membrane having a catarrhal exudate adherent.

Examination in both cases revealed the presence of large numbers of strongyles.

Specimens were sent to Captain R, Daubney M. Sc. at the laboratories of the Board of Agriculture in England, who kindly identified them as the Haemonchus longistipes.

The foeces of both camels also contained large numbers of ova of these worms.

Anti-mortem examinations of the blood of these camels were negative, and no other abnormality could be found on post-mortem.

Two specimens of the Trichuris Globulosa were found in the small intestine of the camel which died, but caused no lesions.

It was therefore thought that the presence of Strongyles might be a cause of debility in camels.

The ova of the Haemonchus Longistipes have been found in 16 camels, ten of which were in poor condition, and six in good condition.

It is therefore suggested that in those cases of debility in camels in which no trypanosomes can be found, an examination of the foeces should be made for the ova of the Haemonchus Longistipes. If present, treatment with a 2% solution of copper salphate is suggested.

RESEARCH.

Experimental treatment of Trypanosomiasis.

A summary only of the work is given.

A combination of the drugs Tartar Emetic and Picric Acid was used.

Curasson, working in the French Sudan, reports a certain amount of success in the treatment of Trypanosomiasis by the use of this combination of these drugs.

Curasson gave the Tartar Emetic intramuscularly, and the Picric Acid by mouth in the form of balls.

It was thought that if these drugs could be safely administered intravenously at the same time better results would be obtained,
