An account is given of trench fever and the part played by Pediculus 

 humaniis, L., var. corporis, DeG., in its transmission [cf. R.A.E., B, 

 vi, 225, etc.].

Culex pipiens, Theobaldia annulata, and Aedes {Ochlerotatus) 

 detritus are the commonest mosquitos on Hayling Island. An account 

 is given of the methods adopted during 1921 to obtain the assistance 

 of the general public in the control of these species.

These keys to the genera and species of the European Culicids are 

 based chiefly on the works of Ficalbi and Theobald.

Since 1901 several investigators have come to the conclusion that 

 Magelang cannot be reckoned free from malaria, but, in spite of this, 

 it is still used as a sanatorium for patients recovering from the disease. 



Of 2,678 school children, 331 (about 13 per cent.) had enlarged spleens, 

 and of these 61 were positive, 38 being cases of malignant tertian, 21 of 

 benign tertian, and 2 of quartan malaria. 



The following Anophelines occur : Anopheles (Myzomyia) minimus 

 var. aconitus, A. subpictus {rossi), A. indefinitus, A. schiiffneri, 

 A. fuliginosus, A. barbirostris, and A. {Cellia) kochi. A. minimus 

 aconitus, a known carrier, is a house-mosquito that is comparatively 

 abundant and is found throughout the district.

 Tijdschr. Ned.- Indie, Batavia, Ixii, no. 1, 1922, pp. 35-130. 



On the island of Soemba malaria was met with everywhere in 1919 

 and 1920. Examination of 2,876 children yielded an average spleen- 

 index of 51-8 per cent. Anopheles vagus {Myzomyia rossi var. 

 indefinitus), and A. (M.) barbirostris occurred indoors. The former 

 bred in both fresh and brackish water, and was the commonest species. 

 A. [M.) barbirostris bred in a fresh water swamp, and^. (M.) minimus 

 var. aconitus in a slow-flowing stream. In the rainy season a number of 

 pools harboured larvae of A. vagus.
