Mosquitoes and Malaria

This is an admirable little book which should be in the hands of every medical man in India. It gives in small space a very complete account of our knowledge of the subject of the relations of mosquitoes to malaria, at the present day, and also a sketch of the natural history of some mosquitoes. It begins by giving a short account of the malaria parasite, from its discovery by Laveran. Chapter II is devoted to the discoveries of M?ijor R. Ross, and an excellent r^sumd of his reports is given, as well as, in another chapter, the confirmation of his discoveries by Dr. C. W. Daniels. The fifth chapter is devoted to the most recent works of the Italian observers and others.
