SUMMARY. 



17. Summary of Objects : 



(i). We do not propose to exterminate mosquitoes in 

 any entire continent. 



We propose only to deal with them in the town in which 

 we live y and in its suburbs. 



(2). We do not propose to get rid of every mosquito 

 even in this town. 



We aim only at reducing the number of the insects as 

 much as possible, 



(3). We do not think it possible to drain or otherwise 

 treat every breeding-place in the town. 



We aim at dealing with as many as possible. 



(4). We cannot exclude mosquitoes which may just 

 possibly be blown into the town from miles away. 



We content curselves with preventing the insects breeding 

 in the town itself. 



18. Summary of Methods : 



(i). We start work at once with whatever means we 

 can scrape together. 



(2). We operate from a centre outwards. 



(3). We clear houses, backyards, and gardens of all 

 rubbish ; empty tubs and cisterns containing larvae, or 

 destroy the larvae in them by means of oil. 



(4). We show people how to do these things for them- 

 selves, and how to protect tubs and cisterns by means of 

 wire gauze.
