Abstract
THE Tropical Diseases Bureau came into existence in July, 1912, as a development of the Sleeping Sickness- Bureau founded in 1908. The main function of the bureau has been to review current papers on tropical diseases, i.e. exotic diseases occurring in the tropics and sub-tropics. The medium of publication is the Tropical Diseases Bulletin, now in its fourteenth volume. The Bulletin, which appears monthly, contains classified summaries of all papers within its scope which come under notice. Each subject is in charge of a “sectional editor,” whose initials are appended to his summaries. Thus the results of the most recent researches on tropical disease in every country, new methods of treatment, and improved means of prevention quickly become available for the remote worker in the tropics. Critical reviews of books are also published.
