...bull, who was meeting him half way. In this contact the pony was gored in the chest section and in the encounter Pickett was able to obtain his position for throttling the bull. . . . At no time was Pickett on the bull's back nor did he ever bite the animal's nose. It is one thing to "bulldog" or wrestle with a ewe-necked steer and quite another to tackle a well-developed fighting bull. Pickett found this out, much to his consternation. Owing to the much greater thickness of the bull's neck, instead of being...

It was discovered that infection was transmitted by several varieties of coffee flies that were carriers of the adult Onchecereae, present in the tuners found on the heads of the natives. Once injected by the bite of the fly, the parasites multiply and the young "microfilariae" circulate through the lymphatics, causing irritation, particularly of the eye. Any fly biting an infected person is at once a potential source of infection. The investigators discovered, however, that these Eusilium flies are so widely distributed in practically every running stream...
