MALARIA IN INDIA.
A London correspondent writes to an in- dian contemporary:-" Dr. Stephens and Dr. Christophers, who formed a commission ap. pointed by the Royal Society to investigate malaria in Africa and India, have, i learn, sent in the conclusions they have arrived at as the
result of their researches, which extended over several years. They find that in tropical Africa, and to a less extent in certain regions of India, there is a widespread infection among the native children under fifteen years of age, while above that age there is a marked immunity. This infection, the Commissioners state, is the essential cause of European malaria, so much so that infection from one European to another, as was previously supposed to be the case, is
entirely negligible as a factor in infection. The investigations show that the chief source of
