ence of malaria was not excluded satisfactorily from a number 

 of them. Eighteen were examined once microscopically; 1, 

 twice; and 21 not at all. Considering the foregoing data, if

 the splenic index of malaria, typhoid fever being excluded, would 

 have been greater than 69.5 per cent in this series of cases.
