Abstract
THIS useful little book by an assistant director of the Ross Institute of Tropical Medicine is primarily intended for laymen, especially planters, engineers and others, who have to undertake anti-malarial work in the tropics, but it may also, as Sir Malcolm Watson remarks in the preface, be of use to medical practitioners. Within a small compass the book contains a generous quantity of valuable information, including not only an account of the different forms of malaria control but also a general survey of the malaria problem, notes on the various species of anophelines, laboratory equipment and methods, and a bibliography of recent British writers on the subject. The publication of the work has been undertaken by the Shell Group of Oil Companies.
