Demobilisation may entail the spread of malaria in Germany. 



As a result of improved conditions in dwelling-houses mosquitos, 

 Anopheles maculipenms and A. hifurcatus, have tecome largely 

 Hmited to cowsheds and stables, especially those that are dark, dirty 

 and containing spiders' webs. 



Prell holds that the practice of keeping goats is dangerous, and it is 

 pointed out that the adults and larvae of A. maculipennis have been 

 found in towns as well as in stables and sheds in their proximity. 

 Well-lit, airy and clean stables and sheds will lessen the danger from 

 Anophehnes.

Young kestrels {Cerchneis tinmotculus) are probably infected with 

 Haemoproteus by a fly, Camus hemaptems, which inhabits the nest ; 

 possibly also by Hippoboscidae, but not by Culex.

In preparations from the blood of a sick cow in the Gold Coast 

 Piroplasma higeminum, Theileria mutans and a third parasite, believed 

 by Macfie to be highly pathogenic, and the morphology of which shows 

 a transition between the Haemamoebidae and the Piroplasmidae, 

 have been found. It has a great variety of forms. The author 

 considers it to belong to the genus Achromaticus, Gonder, and suggests 

 the name A. macfiei.

All the factors favourable to malaria are present at Brazza, Algeria, 

 and its reputation for unhealthiness has been an obstacle to develop- 

 ment. Work on the lines recommended by Sergent, including clearing.
