Letter

Description
Having the greatest difficulty in finding crescent cases of malaria as the windy weather is preventing the mosquitoes from thriving, he thinks that infection must be via drinking water and that when he gets another crescent case he will send Manson some specimens. He suggests that the flagella probably 'cease to move almost as soon as they free themselves from the cyst', which is why there seem to be so few. He is thinking of writing a paper on mosquitoes for the South Indian branch of the British Medical Association. The Patiala inquiry has collapsed because of the opposition of the Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab.
