Description
Unable to find any malaria parasites in Lutchman but gives his temperatures and adds that the two other men who drank infected water have not developed fever. He discusses a malaria case and the parasites he obtained from it and asks Manson's advice. The editor of the Pioneer is taking up the suggestion of a malaria inquiry and that the British Medical Journal might also do this, although the Indian government is opposed to seconding him even though it would only be for three months. Describes blood films made by Manson's method as seen under different strengths of microscope fields.
