in various parts of northern France and Belgium, For about a year 

 he was in Champagne, where he frequently worked in the marshes ; 

 according to his own account he must then have contracted the 

 disease, although the first attack apparently occurred as late as 

 July 1917, or a year after his departure.

The occurrence of locally acquired malaria, due to Plasmodium 

 vivax only, is recorded in the region of Lake Presba, which is a closed 

 region that might have been expected to be free from any imported 

 malaria. The examinations were carried out in the spring and summer ; 

 carriers were found in each village, but the endemic index was in 

 every case low, being generally proportionate to the Anopheline 

 density. Unfortunately, the investigations had to be abandoned at the 

 beginning of August, but it is hoped to obtain some data on the 

 possibility of the existence, in the course of an annual or seasonal 

 cycle, of a transformation from Plasmodium vivax to P. praecox, and 

 vice versa, as hinted in an earlier communication [see this Review, 

 Ser. B, V, p. 98]. The utility of multiplying accurate and prolonged 

 investigations of malaria in other regions is pointed out, with the 

 object of elucidating several points not yet understood in the biology 

 of these Haematozoa.

Investigations into the question of malaria control at Sale, which, 

 like the rest of Morocco, suffers from malaria, chiefly of the tertian 

 form, showed that the infection comes almost entirely from the Oulja 

 valley which lies to the east of the town. The urban and suburban 

 dwellings were found to be quite free from Anopheline breeding- places, 

 while the Jewish quarter and the military camp, including the 

 convalescent hospital, all of which lie in the passage of Anopheles 

 flying from the valley, show a considerable percentage both of 

 mosquitos and malaria. Remedial measures suggested are : quinine 

 prophylaxis for those whose work takes them into the neighbourhood 

 of the Oulja valley and mechanical protection of buildings adjacent 

 to the valley against adult mosquitos. Anti-larval measures would 

 be of little use in this case, and sanitation and drainage operations in 

 the Oulja valley would be a lengthy and costly operation.

Both piroplasmosis, due to Piroplasma bigeminum, and anaplasmosis, 

 due to Anaplasma centrale, were found in 1916 in cattle in Turkey 

 imported from Russia. Mortality among these cattle is as high as 

 80 to 90 per cent., simultaneous infection by both parasites being
