[Transmission of the Disease.-I made one of the patients scratch with his nails some of his patches and then scratch a healthy Tamil coolie, who volunteered for the experiment, on the arms and upper part of the chest. On the arms nothing developed; on the chest, at the inoculated place, there was much itching on the second and third day; on the 4th day two tiny dark, very slightly elevated roundish spots appeared; these enlarged slowly, and a few days later their surface showed several whitish cracks. Unfortunately, at that time the coolie, who had been complaining of great itching, scrubbed himself thoroughly with sand soap, with the result that the patches disappeared.]
