A Practical Study of Malaria.

Abstract

This is more than an excellent compilation of what is known of the subject, for the knowledge is carefully filtered and weighed by one who is familiar with the disease in its various phases. If any criticism is to be made of this excellent book it is that sometimes quotations from others are too long. They are so well selected, however, that one cannot find serious fault with them. Moreover, they have the advantage of enabling the reader to get his information at first hand and not from abstracts. The long key to mosquitoes of North and Central America taken from Coquillett's classification and descriptions prepared for and published by the United States Department of Agriculture might well have been omitted, for it can be readily procured by any one desiring it. The description of the parasite in all its varied forms and phases is full and accurate. This constitutes
