Abstract

MY attention has been directed to a paper read before the Royal Society of Arts by Mr. James Cantlie on January 27 called “The Part played by Vermin in the Spread of Disease,” published in the society's journal (January 29, pp. 202–4). Mr. Cantlie is there reported to have said:—“In sleeping sickness the disease is transmitted by the tsetse-fly, and the crocodile is believed to be the alternative host, the fly serving as a carrier only” (p. 204).
