Abstract In this paper we propose to give a brief statement of the results obtained by us with reference to the relation of the tsetse-fly (Glossina palpalis) to the trypanosome of Sleeping Sickness (Trypanosoma gambiense), and to other species of trypanosomes which this fly carries. Our investigations have consisted of observations and experiments upon (A) Flies fed in the laboratory on animals which had been infected by the inoculation of cerebro-spinal fluid from sleeping sickness patients, and which showed trypanosomes in their blood as the result of such inoculation. (B) Flies caught in various localities which were found on dissection to contain trypanosomes in their digestive tracts.
