it had been her practice to leave cold foods such as meat, vegetables 

 and cheese, lying uncovered on the table from one meal to the next. 

 This view is supported by the fact that this fly deposits larvae rather 

 than eggs, that the attacks were most numerous during the heat of 

 summer, and that they decreased when the food was heated before 

 consumption.

None of the patients mentioned in this paper had been out of 

 France, or had lived in malarious districts, or had suffered from malaria 

 before. The farm in question is situated in marshy mosquito-infested 

 land near the Belgian frontier and several examples of Ano'pheles 

 maculipennis were captured on it.

In 1916 the army corps of which the author was general medical

 was endemic. The inhabitants in the firing zone had been removed in 

 the preceding autumn, and there were therefore no human carriers 

 present. The invading Germans, a much larger body of men, were 

 also free from malaria parasites. The Anophehnes hibernating in 

 buildings included a large number of carriers, but these would probably 

 die soon after oviposition, and the succeeding generation of mosquitos 

 would have no opportunity of acquiring infection provided that cases 

 of primary malaria among the troops were at once removed from the 

 district and energetically treated. The following measures were 

 therefore adopted : Every case of malaria or suspected malaria was
