It  is  impossible  to  abstract  these  papers  in  a  review.  The  work 
comprises  more  than  250  pages  and  with  over  100  illustrations, 
some  of  which  are  colored,  contains  a  vast  amount  of  information 
on  the  subjects  mentioned  and  is  a  valuable  contribution  to  science. 
From  the  fact  that  these  laboratories  are  located  in  the  countries 
where  the  conditions  prevail  which  conduce  to  the  development  of 
certain  infectious  diseases,  the  researches  should  be  of  special  value 
and  interest.
