(1)  895,000 Shares are held by the CF Villture Fund (the "CF Villture Fund"), a
     unit trust  governed by English law,  which is controlled by Barrie Stevens
     Haigh and Stella  Dorothy Haigh by virtue of their holding more than 75% of
     the total issued units.  If Barrie  Stevens Haigh and Stella  Dorothy Haigh
     caused the dissolution of the CF Villture Fund,  Barrie Stevens Haigh would
     be deemed to  beneficially  own 750,570 Shares because upon  dissolution he
     would receive  569,666 Shares directly and 180,904 Shares as trustee (along
     with Stella  Dorothy Haigh and Alexandra  R.A.  Miller) of the Barrie Haigh
     Children's  Settlement No. 1 and Barrie Haigh Children's Settlement No. 2.,
     respectively. In addition, in transactions expected to close on October 22,
     1998 and October 23,  1998,  the CF Villture  Fund will  dispose of 245,000
     Shares,  causing the number of Shares  deemed to be  beneficially  owned by
     Barrie Steven Haigh (as  described in the previous  sentence) to decline by
     205,463 Shares.  For the purposes of these calculations the Shares received
     by Barrie Stevens Haigh as trustee are also deemed to be beneficially owned
     by Stella Dorothy Haigh as a result of both persons  serving as trustees of
     the Barrie Haigh Children's Settlement No.1 and the Barrie Haigh Children's
     Settlement No. 2., respectively.

(2)  In  addition,  as stated in  footnote  1 the CF  Villture  will  dispose of
     245,000  Shares in  transactions  expected to close on October 22, 1998 and
     October 23, 1998,  causing the number of Shares  deemed to be  beneficially
     owned by  Barrie  Stevens  Haigh  to  decline  by  205,463  Shares  and the
     percentage of the total  outstanding  Shares  beneficially  owned by him to
     decline to 6.2%.

(3)  14,055 Shares are held under the name of Stella Freeman, the maiden name of
     Stella Dorothy Haigh.

(4)  895,000  Shares are held by the CF  Villture  Fund which is  controlled  by
     Barrie  Stevens  Haigh and Stella  Dorothy Haigh by virtue of their holding
     more than 75% of the total issued units. If Barrie Stevens Haigh and Stella
     Dorothy  Haigh  caused the  dissolution  of the CF  Villture  Fund,  Stella
     Dorothy Haigh would be deemed to  beneficially  own 325,334  Shares because
     upon  dissolution  she would receive  144,430  Shares  directly and 180,904
     Shares as trustee  (along  with Barrie  Stevens  Haigh and  Alexandra  R.A.
     Miller) of the Barrie Haigh  Children's  Settlement  No. 1 and Barrie Haigh
     Children's  Settlement No. 2,  respectively.  In addition,  in transactions
     expected to close on October 22, 1998 and October 23, 1998, the CF Villture
     Fund will dispose of 245,000 Shares, causing the number of Shares deemed to
     be beneficially owned by Stella Dorothy Haigh (as described in the previous
     sentence)  to  decline  by  89,058  Shares.   For  the  purposes  of  these
     calculations  the Shares  received by Stella  Dorothy  Haigh as trustee are
     also deemed to be beneficially owned by Barrie Stevens Haigh as a result of
     both persons serving as trustees of the Barrie Haigh Children's  Settlement
     No.1 and the Barrie Haigh Children's Settlement No. 2, respectively.

(5)  In  addition,  as stated in footnote 4 of the CF Villture  will  dispose of
     245,000  Shares in  transactions  expected to close on October 22, 1998 and
     October 23, 1998,  causing the number of Shares  deemed to be  beneficially
     owned  by  Stella  Dorothy  Haigh  to  decline  by  89,058  Shares  and the
     percentage of the total  outstanding  Shares  beneficially  owned by her to
     decline to 0.9%.

This Schedule 13G (the  "Schedule  13G") is being filed with the  Securities and
Exchange  Commission  (the  "Commission")  jointly by Barrie  Stevens  Haigh and
Stella  Dorothy Haigh  (together the "Reporting  Persons"),  with respect to the
common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Shares"),  of Quintiles  Transnational
Corp.,  a  North  Carolina  corporation  (the  "Company").   As  stated  in  the
Commission's  recent  release  adopting   amendments  to  beneficial   ownership
reporting  requirements,  the filing of the Schedule 13G will be deemed to amend
an existing Schedule 13D. (See Commission Release No. 34-39538).  Therefore, the
Schedule 13G is deemed to amend and supplement the Reporting  Persons' Amendment
No.1 to the Schedule 13D (the  "Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D") filed with the
Commission on March 24, 1998. The Reporting  Persons have switched from Schedule
13D to Schedule  13G  because  they prefer to use the  short-form  Schedule  13G
instead  of the  long  form  Schedule  13D and  they  are  able to  satisfy  the
eligibility requirements necessary in order to use Schedule 13G.

Item 3

     As stated on the  coverpage,  this Schedule 13G is being filed  pursuant to
     Rule 13d-1(c).

Item 4   Ownership

     Each Reporting  Person is deemed to  beneficially  own the number of Shares
     and, based on information  contained in the most recent publicily available
     filings of the Company with the  Commission,  the percentage of outstanding
     Shares  listed  in the  responses  to Items 9 and 11 of pages two and three
     filed herewith relating to such Reporting Person. In addition,  the numbers
     of Shares with respect to which each  Reporting  Person (i) has sole voting
     power, (ii) shares voting power,  (iii) has sole dispositive power and (iv)
     shares  dispositive power, are listed in the responses to Items 5, 6, 7 and
     8,  respectively,  of pages two and three filed  herewith  relating to such
     Reporting Person.

     Until  September  18,  1998  all of the  Shares  beneficially  owned by the
     Reporting  Persons  were held in the name of a nominee of Morgan  Stanley &
     Co. International  Limited, the Reporting Persons' broker. On September 18,
     1998 Barrie Stevens Haigh transferred 1.5 million Shares to the CF Villture
     Fund, a fund controlled by the Reporting Persons by virtue of their holding
     more than 75% of the issued units.  Presently the Reporting  Persons own or
     have  shared  voting  power  with  respect  to all of the  units  in the CF
     Villture Fund.

     Since the filing of Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D the  Reporting  Persons
     and  the CF  Villture  Fund  have  sold  Shares  in a  number  of  brokered
     transactions at the closing dates, amounts and prices indicated below:
