Abstract
THE vast literature which has sprung up in connection with medical entomology gives some indication of the importance of this comparatively new subject, and the work under review is the first attempt at a text-book. The subject chiefly concerns those medical and veterinary officers practising in the tropics, frequently out of the reach of current literature, and this book is designed to give to these men a concise introduction to entomology in so far as it is connected with medicine.
A Text-book of Medical Entomology.
