Abstract
A DEPUTATION representing eight missionary societies at work in Nyasaland waited upon the Secretary of State for the Colonies on November 23 in order to urge that game restrictions should be removed over a whole or part of the protectorate, on the ground that the tsetse-fly was suspected of spreading sleeping sickness, and that the destruction of big game “might” eliminate the fly. In his reply, Mr. Har-court very wisely deprecated hasty action in a matter in which “the best-informed people were the least positive as to the facts.”
