Enclosure No. 2.
ROYAL SOCIETY to COLONIAL OFFICE.
(Received April 24, 1903.)
SIK,
Burlington House, London, W., April 24, 1905. I HAVE the bonour to inform you that the last Report of the Malaria Commis- sion has now been passed for press; hence, the actual investigations having been com- pleted some time back, the labours of the Commission may be considered at an end. I take the opportunity to pass in brief review, on behalf of the Malaria Committee, what has been accomplished by the Commission. And 1 enclose a memorandum by Drs. Stephens and Christophers, in which these observers expound their own views as to the result of their researches, more especially in respect to native malaria, the prevention of of malaria, and the nature of blackwater fever.
At the time when the Commission, consisting of Drs. Daniels, Stephens and Christophers, was appointed, the manner in which the malaria parasites are communicated to man by the mosquito had been clearly indicated by the researches of Ross. But as the evidence in favour of his view rested as yet simply upon his individual testimony, it seemed desirable that his observations should be subjected to independent criticism.
