    data and specimens of biting Hies* Accounts of native remedies or native means of keeping Tsetse-flies from animals may be valuable ; they should be accom- panied by a supply as well as a description of the substance used. Any authenticated information will be welcomed at the Sleeping Sickness Bureau. Specimens received will be referred to the British Museum for diagnosis; they should be accompanied by notes giving site and date of capture, habits, etc. No observation is too small to be recorded. Our knowledge of the life history of the fly is still very imperfect. * Copies of Instructions for Collectors of Blood-Sucking Flies, published by the British Museum (Natural History), will be forwarded to applicants. Persons who wish for further information on the subjects of this pamphlet should communicate with the Director, Sleeping Sickness Bureau, Royal Society, Burlington House, London, W.
