Description
Manson suggests that Ross investigates the significance of ring forms and says that he is going to Rome to get some mosquito eggs and build up a stock during the winter in order to be ready for any malaria case which may turn up. He also suggests further lines of investigation in relation to water and adds that he has been commissioned to write a book on tropical diseases for Cassell's. His paper on Ross' work has not been published yet but it was well received, he looks forward to seeing Ross' slides and he thinks that the Italians have started work on mosquitoes.
