1g03. animals, I am inclined to think that it may possibly turn out to be a new species. I am supported in this hypothesis by a recent communicationby Kruse to the Medical Society of Bonn. 2 I do not see any reason why man should not be attacked by different species of trypanosoma, each of which might give rise to a different disease. This fact has been clearly demonstrated in the lower animals. The horse, for instance, is liable to be infected by three different species of trypanosoma-trypanosoma brucei, the cause of nagana; trypanosoma evansi, the cause of surra; trypanosoma equiperdum (Doflein), the cause of the disease called" dourine." Some observers have tried to identify trypanosoma brucei with trypanosoma evansi, but the most recent investigations have clearly proved that they must be considered two different species, although their morphological dlifferences are slight and inconstant.
