ro3 were attacked, or 48-6 per cent. ; whilst of 820, who took quinine 
irregularly and for periods from i to 10 weeks. 464 were attacked by 
malaria, or 56-5 per cent. 
It should be here noted that in the surrounding villages, as well 
as in the whole of Attica, the malaria was very severe during the 
period under review. 
The average amount of quinine consumed by each inhabitant, 
undergoing the preventive and curative treatment, was 15'6 grammes. 
With regard to fatal cases of malaria, in the village of Marathon 
there died during the summer of 1907 one child of one year old. of 
pernicious spasmodic fever, and one girl of seventeen years of age, of 
blackwater fever. In the village of Bey, a child, aged 4 years, died 
of the latter disease. None of these children had undergone our 
preventive treatment. We have no information as to the number of 
deaths from malaria in the summer of the year 1906, but in 1905, 
seven died of that disease in the village of Marathon. 
We hope that we shall be able to continue our work at Marathon 
under better auspices in the coming summer, when we shall have the 
advantage of the experience hitherto acquired. 
The whole expenditure incurred in the six months’ work at 
Marathon, amounted to Drs. 5715-65 (:^:2io), of which salary and 
travelling expense of the doctors, rent and sundry expenses connected 
with the staff, accounted-for Drs. 3 - 548 -; 0 - The purchase of quinine, 
drugs, &c., Drs. 1.897.25, Petroleum and sundries Drs. 239.20. 
The amount expended averages Drs. 3.70 per head for the six 
months, or less than that expended by the Italian Red Cross Society 
(which in 1901 amounted to fr. 11.25 per head) and the Austrian 
Government (Kr. 9.50 in 1903 and 1904)- 
Besides the sum expended at Marathon and the expenses on the 
two medical Congresses and the lecturing tour, a further amount of 
Drs, 6.820 (;62 50) was accounted for by the printing of the above- 
mentioned Statistics of the League, the detailed instructions 
regarding the prevention of malaria, and of the under-mentioned 
appeal on the part of the League. 
The funds, which rendered possible the work of the League, were 
supplied by philanthropy.

Dr. Ross, under the presidency of Sir Alfred Jones, and which H.R.H.
