Abstract
SIR MALCOLM WATSON stated at a meeting held in January of the Industrial Anti-Malarial Advisory Committee of the Ross Institute for Tropical Diseases that while Paris green has a place in malaria control, it is not a substitute for oiling surface waters that breed mosquitoes, for the female can safely lay its eggs in water treated with Paris green, but is killed by water that has been oiled. The nature of the crude oil forming the basis of anti-malarial oiling mixtures has an important bearing on efficiency, and Dr. Ramsay, in association with the Burma Shell Group, has completed researches upon the oils best suited for such mixtures.
