blood, somewhat similar to the Piroptasma (Babesia) higeminum of 

 Texas cattle fever. Culex fatigans is the principal transmitter, but 

 Brooks recorded Sfegojnyia fasciata (calopus) as the only mosquito 

 present in one epidemic observed by him, and in Austraha in 1916 this 

 mosquito was experimentallv proved to be a vector [see this Review. 

 8er. B, iv, p. 196].

 Record, Caps Town, xvi, no. 9, 11th May 1918, pp. 136-138. 



This paper is a record of the author's experience in the treatment 

 of malaria. With regard to the question whether the mosquitos 

 of the Cape are malaria carriers, a case is instanced where this was 

 undoubtedly true : a soldier who had never had malaria and who 

 had hved in the Cape Peninsula for the past six years having a heavy 

 infection of subtertian rings, while crescents were found a few days 

 later.

 Cantonments. — Southern Med. Jl., Birmingham, Ala., xi, no. 8,

This paper describes the anti-mosquito measures employed for the 

 military cantonments and aviation fields estabhshed in the southern 

 States of the Union during the present War. The work has been 

 done on recognised hnes, varying according to local geographical 

 conditions.

This is a synopsis of results gained in a number of control campaigns 

 conducted under the advisory supervision of the United States Health 

 Service, anti-mosquito work being in most cases the chief, and in some 

 the sole measure adopted. Abstracts of the reports have already 

 been published.

 Yet. Jl., London, Ixxiv, no. 2, February 1918, pp. 44-53. 



This paper describes a number of conditions due to secondary 

 infection of wounds caused by the bites of ticks in horses, mules, 

 asses, and more rarely cattle and sheep. The micro-organisms con- 

 cerned include the Preis Nocard bacillus, Cryptococcus farciminosus 

 (occasionally), the necrosis bacillus, staphylococci, etc. In Southern 

 Rhodesia the disease was almost entirely spread and mechanically 

 conveyed by a tick, Amhlyomma variegatum, but it seems to have 

 disappeared from there since tick eradication was effected. It is 

 stated that an examination of over 1,000 cases in " German " East 

 Africa showed that 75 per cent, contracted the disease through the:
