Abstract
AT p. 627 of your issue of October 25, while noticing Profs. Grassi and Noè's observations on Filaria immitis, you say “Malaria is not the only disease which is propagated by mosquitoes.” May I remind your readers of Dr. Patrick Manson's important observations on Filaria sanguinis-hominis, originally communicated to the Linnean Society by Dr. Cobbold, on March 7, 1878 (“On the Development of Filaria sanguinis-hominis, and on the Mosquito considered as a Nurse”: Journ. Linn. Soc. Zool., xiv., pp. 304–311), and amplified later in a paper communicated on March 6, 1884 (“The Metamorphosis of Filaria sanguinis-hominis in the Mosquito”: Trans. Linn. Soc. Zool., ser. 2, vol. ii., pp. 367–388, pl. xxxix.)?
