These statistics show that a small amount of filariasis is very widely 

 distributed in the Islands. Infections can probably be found almo 

 everywhere, if a thorough and persistent search is made. The most 

 Smg feature is the relatively large number of infections n i Manila 

 and the small number among Moros. Datto Pmng's men at Du luan are 

 the type of the real natives of the Cotabato Valley and among them no 

 cases of infection were encountered, whne at Cudarangan just across 

 the river, 6 imported cases among the Visayans were found.
