THE secretary of the Royal Society made the following announcement at the meeting of the society on May 6:— Sir David Bruce, who is in charge of the Sleeping Sickness Commission at present in Uganda, cabled to the society on April 3 that the commission had confirmed Kleine's observations on the period during which the tsetse-fly was capable of1 transmitting a trypanosome infection. A letter was received on April 30 from Sir David Bruce, dated Mpumu Chagwe, Uganda, April 3, confirming the telegram, and stating that the commission had “repeated Dr. Kleine's experiments with Trypanosoma gambiense and Glossina palpalis, also with a trypanosome of the dimorphon type and the same tsetse-flies, and found the flies infective after sixteen, nineteen, and twenty-two days.”
