Abstract
THE report for 1938–39 of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, incorporating the Ross Institute, is, as usual, of great interest. It should be realized that studies which seem minute and insignificant, such as the survival and fertility of insects under highly unfavourable conditions, may be of the utmost importance to planters and owners of big estates. They should subscribe more generously to a School which does so much for their welfare. The Institute, while busy at home with many discoveries, including bacterial survival for well over a century, has been continuing the attack on the problems of Anopheles minimus in Assam, a mosquito which can be controlled more effectively by shading than by the use of drugs.
