چکیده
Since Megaw reported the first case of topical (non-epidemic) typhus seen in India (1917), several hundreds of cases have been described from various parts of the country, the Majority of which Roy (1946) collected and entered on a map of India. This survey as ^ell as a perusal of available literature show that no cases of tropical typhus have been Published from Rajputana. In this connection ? remark by Hendley (1895) is of historical Jnterest; in tabulating ' all other general diseases ' which occurred in ' Jeypore' during "is twenty years of service here, he states : Epidemics of typhus fever were reported as having occurred in the jail about 25 years ago. There have been none since '. This, obviously, ^as louse typhus and has nothing to do with the main problem of specifically Indian typhus ^'hich is still controversial as far as the vector ?r vectors are concerned.

N. Chatterjee) and Udaipur (Dr. Jaideo Prasad) whether they had seen any. The ^formations, kindly and readily supplied, were negative; they had neither seen nor' heard of
