bordering the Black Sea to the north, the basins of the Dnieper 
and Dniester as far as Ekaterinoslav, the Crimea, Wallachia, and 
Bulgaria. There are also endemic areas of malaria in the marshy 
plains of western Russia, in many places in the Baltic provinces, and 
in the district of Novgorod. In Galicia malaria is only endemic in 
Cracow, Wadowice, Zolkiewo, and Zloczow; and in Poland only in 
the province of Agustusowo. One of the largest malarial areas of 
Europe follows the course of the Danube and its tributaries, from 
the plain of lower Austria, over a great part of Hungary. It is also 
endemic in the marshy districts of Croatia, in the damp valleys of 
Servia and Montenegro, and in the valley of the. Save. In the Balkan 
peninsula there are various endemic areas in Roumania, on the 
shores of the Black Sea and of the Sea of Marmora, in Albania, and 
northwards along the coasts of Dalmatia and Istria. In Greece 
malaria occurs at many points in Boetia, Zeituni, Naupantos, and 
Yonitza ; at Chalcis, Corinth, Mistra, Navarino, Modon, and many 
other places on the coast. In Crete, Cephalonia, St Maura, and 
Corfu malaria is also endemic. In Italy there are two areas of 
endemic malaria, occupying the plain of the Po and its tributaries, 
and the west coast from Pisa, as far as and including most of 
Calabria. In the Iberian peninsula, malaria is most severe in the 
southern and western coast regions, in the low-lying country of 
Andalusia, on the marshy banks of rivers, especially the Guadiana 
and Guadalquiver, on the flooded plains of the Tagus, Sado, 
Mondego, and other coast rivers of Portugal, on the level coasts of 
Granada and Murcia, and on the plains of Algara and Alemtejo. 
In France malaria is most prevalent in the western and southern 
parts of the country, "especially from the basin of the Loire as far as 
the Pyrenees. Another area stretches along the coast of Languedoc 
and Provence. There are several other small malarial areas, of which 
the plain of Auvergne and the marshy country around Lake Indre 
may be noted. In Switzerland endemic malaria is only found in 
the southern part of the canton Ticino, and in the canton of Valais 
along the Rhone. In Austria the chief seats of the disease are 
along the Danube, and there are smaller areas in the river valleys 
of upper Austria, Salzburg, Styria, and Carinthia. Where the 
river widens at Krems we meet with a great region of malaria, 
which extends as far as the Black Sea. In south-west Germany
