AbstractGlossina spp. were collected in south-western Ethiopia and were found to have a continuous distribution from the Sobat River Basin to the southern Rift Valley lakes of Chamo and Abaya. Their limits to the north and east of this range was not determined. Along the Omo River, Glossina inhabit a continuous band from 20 km above Lake Rudolf to at least as far as Abelti, 167 km south-west of Addis Ababa. The species collected were G. pallidipes Aust., G. fuscipes Newst., G. morsitans submorsitans Newst. and G. Iongipennis Corti. The ratio and numbers of G. pallidipes and G. fuscipes suggest a relationship between the latter and the number of hippopotamus along the Omo River. Both G. pallidipes and G. Iongipennis were caught biting at night.

John Edmond was a geochemist the unifying theme of whose research was a quantitative understanding of the processes involved in the transfer of the chemical elements into and out of the oceans; in short, what controls ocean chemistry. He achieved this through oceanographic explorations sampling ocean waters for rare metals and explorations of hot springs on the deep sea floor, rivers from the Amazon to Siberia, and the rift valley lakes of Africa. This accompanied a strong background in chemistry and an almost reverent recognition of the value of data. John challenged established paradigms and pioneered developments in element and isotope systematics as applied to geochemical processes. He will alsobe remembered for his enthusiasm, his insight, his honesty, and his defence of anyone or any group he felt was badly treated.
