Extract

My studies on the distribution of filariasis in the Fiji Islands demonstrated the intimate relationship between the elephantiasis rate of a district and the microfilaria rate of the inhabitants, an observation in agreement with the previous work of Low and Daniels on the same subject. In Ceylon I resolved to again investigate this subject in order to ascertain whether in this island also a similar result could be obtained.
