Before the Commission n Dr. SOND suggested that the Hea was the medium of infection. His arguments were (1) that plague rats are eminently infective when infested with fleas, and they cease to be in- fective lion they have been deserted by their parnaites; (2) living plague bazilli are found in association with deas which are taken from plakao infected rats; (8) that plague can pass from infected rats to other animals which have not come directly into contact with them or with their infected excretions; and (4) dens which infested rats will transfer themselves as pärașites to 1.20 men. The Plague Commission considered that the arguments brought forward by Dr. SIMOND were not conclusive; but that, of coure, is not the final word on the subject.

Now that it hus locu proved that the Anopheles mosquito is a communiestar of makuia from man to man, and that yollow 1.50 fever is also spread in the same way by an insed, a filip is given to investigations with
