    \Revrinted from the Proceedings of the Royal Society, B. Vol. 80.] 29 FURTHER RESULTS OF THE EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENT OF TRYPANOSOMIASIS: BEING A PROGRESS REPORT TO A COMMITTEE OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY. Bv H. G. Plimmer, F.L.S., and H. R. Bateman, Captain R.A.M.C. (Communicated hv -J. Rose Bradford, M.D., F.R.S. Received August 25tli, 1908.) The following results are a continuation of tlie work of which summaries have already appeared in the Proceedings of the Royal Society.* The experiments have been carried out with the same strains of Nagana and Surra as were used before. A.—Condition of the Animals living at the Date of the Com- pletion of the Tables in the last Pa'per. Table I.—Nagana Rats treated with Atoxyl and Succinimide of Mercury. (Average duration of untreated disease, 55 days.) No. 4 died on the 307th day after inoculation. 7 „ 365th „ „ 10 „ 249th „ 15 „ 188th „ 21 „ 63rd „ Of these, No. 15, which was apparently cured, was used on the 147th day after inoculation for re-inoculation, with the view of ascertaining if any immunity had been conferred. This was found not to be the case.t None of the above died with any of the signs of Nagana. Of the 21 rats tabulated, J only one died from trypanosomiasis, and this one was probably atoxyl-proof. Table III.—Surra Rats treated with Atoxyl and Mercury Sozoiodol. No. 5 died on the 286t]i day after inoculation tmm broncho- pneumonia. Table VI.—Surra Rats treated with Atoxyl and lodopin. No. 9 died on the 221st day after inoculation from worms. * B, vol. 79, 1907, pp. 505-516, and B, vol. 80, 1908, pp. 1-12. t Vide. ' Roy. Soc. Proc.,' B, vol. 80, p. 10. X ' Roy. Soc.
