Abstract
IN NATURE of March 1, p. 304, Senatore Prof. Battista Grassi repeats the claims which he has been making for more than twenty years regarding the discovery of the relation between malaria and mosquitoes. They will be found already fully set forth in his “Studî di uno zoologo sulla malaria” (R. Accad. d. Lincei, 1900), in the Policlinico for 1900 and 1901, and in his “Documenti riguardanti la storia della scoperta del modo di transmissione della malaria umana” (Rancati, Milano, 1903). I have never been able to accept these claims in their entirety, although I recognise Prof. Grassi's good work and enthusiasm; and I have given the whole history of the subject with full references to all the pertinent literature in my recent Memoirs (John Murray, 1923).
