The results of anti-malarial work during the years 1910-1915 in 

 the Constantine Department of Algeria, carried out on the lines 

 advocated by the Pasteur Institute, have been very encouraging. 

 Each year the number of cases diminished, complications disappeared, 

 pernicious and fatal attacks ceased to occur, and the mortality became 

 nil. The mortality due to malaria at Robertvilie during the years 

 1910-1915 is tabulated.

An account is given of anti-malarial measures in Algeria during 

 the epidemic of 1917. As the sanitary staff was insufficient to cope 

 with all the districts concerned, onh^ the most severely infected localities 

 were dealt with. Results showed that the districts so protected 

 invariably became more healthy than the surromiding region. 



A brief review of recent investigations and literature on the subject 

 is included in the report.
