Mosquitoes and Malaria.—The Manner in which Mosquitoes intended for Determination should be Collected and Preserved

Abstract

THE widespread interest now being taken by English medical men and others in all parts of the world, in the dissemination of malaria parasites by means of mosquitoes, which would seem to have been placed beyond dispute by the recent researches of Major Ross, I.M.S., in India, and of the Italian school represented by Drs. Grassi, Bignami, and Bastianelli at Rome—an interest due to the fact that, as a price of world-wide empire, the English race suffers more than any other from the malaria scourge—renders it highly desirable that there should be in the British Museum in London a collection of carefully preserved and accurately determined Culicidæ of the world.
