Letter
Date
16/5/1897
Description
Describes specimens of water which he took from puddles and a well on the Westbury coffee estate in Sigur Ghat and although he did not find obvious malaria parasites he found parasitic life which could be an alternative form in mosquito larvae's stomachs and he describes it with the help of sketches. It is unlikely that an official inquiry into malaria will take place on account of the plague.
