Description
Ross says that his malaria patients have been uncooperative, that his mosquitoe larvae died and although he now has a crescent case his new mosquitoes would not initially bite it. He describes his examination in a mosquito's stomach after it had bitten and concludes that crescents change into spheres inside the mosquito. Thinks that P Hehir might soon prove the mosquito-malaria theory.
