countered live in these regions. Therefore, filarial disease must be 

 considered of great importance in these portions of the Islands. The 

 description of the character of southeastern Luzon, gi?en in a previous 

 paper, as a country of rugged outline, high rainfall and rank vegetation 

 applies to Leyte and Samar, and these islands are in marked contrast to 

 the comparatively bare and dry Island of Cebu lying near by. 



Certain areas in Mindanao would seem to show a percentage of in- 

 fection intermediate between these two extremes, but further work will 

 be necessary- to establish this definitely.
