Abstract
THIS little book may be recommended with confidence to the consideration of medical officers, administrators, and officials in tropical countries whose duties bring them in contact with a backward indigenous population. The case for the record of vital statistics is argued convincingly but temperately, and, as appears, with a full appreciation of the difficulties involved.
