چکیده
This vapidity with which Castellani and Chalmers Tropical Medicine established itself as the standard book on the subject is remarkable and is a tribute to the thoroughness with which the book was written. Only a couple of years ago it appeared and here is a second and fully revised edition bigg^v than ever. Indeed its very bulk will necessitate its publication in another edition in two volumes.

As before the volume is divided into three parts, the first part is certainly interesting and deals with the history of tropical medicine, climatology, the tropical races, effects of food and climate on man i? ^ie tropics (in which the work of Major D. McCay, l M.S., is freely made use of), the effects of temperature and humidity, and a brief note on the geographical distribution of disease.
