The number of children examined by iis was much larger than that 

 studied by Craig, though the number of infected cases observed by us was 

 very much lower than that which he found. By comparing the two 

 preceding tables no decrease in our figures in the percentage of infection 

 can be noticed proportionate to the increase in age of the individuals sucli 

 as has been observed by other investigators. This may be explained per- 

 haps by the very small number of infections found among the numlier of 

 children examined. 



All the cases of malaria discovered in Taytay seemed to be isolated 

 sporadic cases. All the other members of the families of two individuals 

 found infected with malaria and of six with splenomegaly, were completely 

 free from malaria as is shown by tbe following table:
