The Glossina morsitans abounds on the banks of the African river, the Zambesi, frequenting the bushes and reeds that border it.

A few remarks on the Tsetse, or 'Glossina morsitans', may here be appropriate.

This insect—the 'Glossina moritans' of the naturalists—deserves a special paragraph.

For the Glossina morsitans sleeps by night beneath leaves in the bush, and only wakes when disturbed.

Kleine states that Glossina palpalis can no longer be regarded as the sole transmitter of sleeping sickness.
