    arrangements for keeping horses under observation for long periods, no further head-way could be made with the investigation at that date. During the latter half of 1902, a widespread epizootic of the disease came to light, especially in the Punjab and certain districts in the United Provinces bordering on the eastern bank of the river Jamna. : ‘The following report deals with Dourine as observed respectively in English and Australian thorough-breds and in Arab stallions, which exhibited the disease in Chronic, Latent, and Recent forms. In addition, experiments with regard to the intimate etiology and pathology of the disease have been carried out in Australian, Country- bred, and New Zealand mares, while in stallions an Arab horse, country-bred tats, and country-bred donkeys have been utilized for the purpose. My best thanks are due to— Colonel J. W. A. Morgan, oper any Civil Veteri- nary Department, for animals received from Babugarh. Colonel H. Goad, Director-General, Army Remount Depart- ‘ment, for cast mares from Saharanpur, Karnal, and Hapur. Major H. T. Pease, Principal, Lahore Veterinary College, for Dourine stallions and for valuable information with regard to the disease under investigation. In the course of this report it is not my intention to deal with the geographical range of this disease, and other details which can be gleaned from books on the subject, but mainly to put on record the course of the malady as observed in equines, etc., of different breeds in this country, and give a short summary of the life history of the trypanosoma so far as our investigations have allowed us to determine in the multiplicity of other researches and routine duties. A detailed account of the trypandsoma will be published separately. I would here mention that on embarking on this enquiry it was hoped that one disease, and one disease only, vz., Dourine, would have been encountered, but on having to write an account of the experiments carried out, one finds it necessary to give details of two other forms of disease, one which complicated the majority of cases
