Cave  Valley:  ‘No  special  anti-malarial  measures  have  been 
taken  in  this  district.’ 
Falmouth  :  ‘  No  anti-malarial  measures  have  been  taken  m  this 
district.’ 
Savanna-la-Mar :  ‘Very  little  care  is  taken  by  any  section  of 
the  community  to  protect  themselves  from  malaria. 
Mosquito  nets  are  in  fairly  universal  use.’ 
Mandeville  :  ‘  Fever  does  not  exist  or  arise  in  my  district  except 
as  an  occasional  sporadic  case  at  Porus.  (!)  Therefore 
there  are  no  anti-malarial  measures  necessary. 
Chapelton .-  ‘No  anti-malarial  measures  are  taken.’ 
King-ston  :  ‘  No  anti-malarial  measures  have  been  taken. 
Lucea :  ‘  No  special  anti-malarial  measures  have  been  taken 
beyond  the  usual  routine  of  quinine  administration  and 
advice  to  patients  to  use  bed  netting.’ 
Black  River:  ‘None  taken.’ 
Buff  Bay:  ‘Anti-malarial  measures  taken  in  the  district:  — 
(a)  Swamps  in  various  parts  of  the  town  and  district  have 
either  been  drained  or  filled  up. 
(b)  Concrete  drains  have  been  laid  in  the  principal  streets. 
(c)  Quinine  has  been  distributed  to  the  indentured  immi¬ 
grants  on  all  the  estates  in  my  district.’ 
Annotto  Bay :  ‘  The  anti-malarial  measures  taken  in  the  district 
are  few  and  unsatisfactory.  Quinine  is  supplied  to  the 
estates  for  indentured  immigrants.  This,  however,  as  a 
prophylactic,  has  not  been  given  a  fair  trial.  The  use  of 
mosquito  nets  is  limited  to  a  very  small  percentage  of 
the  population.’
