Malaria, and eventually be in a position themselves to 

 add new facts to our knowledge of this important 

 disease. 



For instance, with very little apparatus it is 

 possible to undertake many most important researches, 

 e.g., to work out the rationale of infection in any station 

 or cantonment ; the form of the parasite present ; 

 the percentage of adults and children infected ; the 

 species of Anofheline ; where each species is found 

 and where it breeds ; the percentage of each species 

 carrying sporozoits and zygotes. 



In fact nearly the whole technique of Malaria 

 can be conducted with a microscope, a few slides and 

 coverglasses, a needle, a stain, some tubes, pins, and 

 cardboard. (Vide Appendix). 



While our original intention was to'fyvrite a 

 practical guide to Malarial Study solely, yet the 

 opportunities for research on other blood parasites are 

 so numerous in the tropics, that we have thought 

 it to be of practical value to add short supplementary 

 chapters on other Haematozoa and on the Trypano- 

 somidae, etc.
