Abstract
IN 1859, when H. W. Bates returned from Para, the town, though rapidly improving even then, was still a little-known Brazilian port, and Bates embarked on a North American trading vessel, “the United States route being the quickest as well as the pleasantest way of reaching England.” At present, however, Para is a very important place, and well up to date in scientific matters—if we may judge by the handsome publication before us, on one of the more recent branches of scientific inquiry—the transmission of yellow fever and other diseases by means of mosquitoes.
