Abstract
WE regret to announce the death of Prof. Ettore Marchiafava, the eminent Italian malariologist. He was born on January 3, 1847, in Rome, where he qualified in 1872. After acting as assistant to Tommasi-Crudeli, he became professor of morbid anatomy at Rome in 1883, and succeeded Prof. G. Bacelli in 1916 in the chair of clinical medicine in the University of Rome, from which he retired in 1921. His works on the origin of melanæmia in malaria in conjunction with A. Celli (1887) and on æsestivo-autumnal fever with A. Bignami (1894) have been translated into English in the New Sydenham Society's publications. He also wrote on diseases of the arteries, lungs and kidneys, and on the action of alcohol on the system.
