together with screening and collecting indoors, should keep malaria at 

 a low rate. It should, however, be supplemented by measures against 

 the larvae. Traps should be placed on that side of the building to 

 which mosquitos are attracted ; in the region under discussion, 

 Anophehnes entered the traps on the lee side. Doors should be placed 

 on the windward side of buUdings and should be opened as little as 

 possible after dusk. Houses should be well screened with 18-mesh 

 wire screen. Mosquitos in buildings should be caught and kiUed 

 daily. For this purpose, if all windows except one are darkened at 

 dawn, the Anophelines will be found to collect on this window.
