rendered malaria-free. The photographs which 1 have had taken, 
and which are inserted in this paper, show very conclusively the 
extent of Anopheline breeding grounds which the abuse of the 
domestic water supply can bring about, if not properly controlled. 
The Commission started filling-in operations in the offending 
district, and took steps to distribute quinine at cost price to the 
authorities of all malarial districts. I hey also arranged for the 
training of sanitary inspectors, so that the latter could be in a position 
to ferret out breeding places ; Dr. Grabham took on himself this par; 
of the work of the Commission. Public lectures were also delivered 
at various centres throughout the Island. In conclusion, the 
Commission has in a short space of time done good work— it has 
ventilated the subject of malaria; it has placed its finger upon the 
offending spots; it has shown with what comparative ease and at 
what small cost the remedy can be obtained ; and it has commenced 
to enforce the remedy. 
Tables showing the deaths from malaria in the various parishes 
from the year 189; are appended.
