Marriage cases discussed by Catholic missionaries in Uganda at the turn of the twentieth century showcase considerable diversity in relationships between women and men. While these cases reflect the turbulence of the late nineteenth century, the history of marriage and divorce in the region since around 700 CE demonstrates that diversity in marital arrangements was a long-standing phenomenon. This article sets out the history of aspects of marriage and divorce in Buganda, Bugwere, Busoga, and Bushana, and their ancestral communities to show how women and men conceptualized their domestic relationships and adapted them as they dealt with political and social change.

Studies on the peridomestic resting sites of Glossina f. fuscipes were carried out at night and during the day. Flies were caught, marked with fluorescent powders and then released in coffee and banana plantations, Lantana camara thicket and adjoining forest habitat and the potential resting sites subsequently searched.

Leaves, twigs and branches between 0.5 and 1 cm in dia. are the preferred resting sites of G.f. fuscipes. The resting heights ranged from 0 to 3.66 m. Results are discussed in relation to tsetse control in the Busoga sleeping sickness epidemic area.
