In our own country, as in Europe generally, malaria occurs

generally in marshy districts, along the courses of rivers,

especially of those which overflow their banks; while in nor-

theran regions it is confined to moist situations, in the south

of Europe it is met with in tracts which are not ordinarily

marshy.

So also in America it becomes more general in its distribu-

tion and more virulent in ita effects as we approach the Tropics,

where it attains its fullest intensity, while in the temperate

zones it is confined to swampy localities.

In Asia and Africa it is met with under the same conditions.

It is the scourge of India, China, Burma, and the Malay Archi-

pelago, and is found also in Australia in short, it prevails

in every land from the Squator to within five ir six degrees

of the artic and Antartic circles,

Not only is malaria, within these limits, world-wide in its

distribution, but it is the most deadly scourge of mankind,

According to the testimony of Sir Joseph Fayrer, Dr. Cornish,

Dr. MacCulloch, and other authorities, it is the cause of half

the deaths throughout the world. What is malaria? is, therefore,

a most important question; and, as MacCulloch tersely observes,

perhaps the best, sa the truest, account of tunda. the nature

of malaria would be an acknowledgement of utter ignorance on

tue subject. Despite the many researches made, our knowledge
