This paper reports a malario-economic survey made by a house-to-house canvass in three malarious and two non-malarious villages in south-eastern Madras between March 1939 and March 1940.

A Water Emulsion of Pyrethrum Extract for Spray-Killing Adult Mosquitoes *These studies were made under the auspices and with the support of the International Health Division of the Rockefeller Foundation, co-operating with the Madras Health Department, and the Pasteur Institute of Southern India.
