Badeley: "Grant." me likely to invite failure as one property with breeding places overlooked would nullify.very extensive efforts all around it

7-It is well to recognise an important limitation of what-can-be-accomplished in the directions I have indicated. The anopheles mosquito breeds high up in the ravines and farver will constantly tend to be washed down into the lower parts. But if the nullabs be trained and maintained in the condition I bave described as desirable, no resting place would exist for such washed down larve within the inhabited districts around the nullahs, and they would be swept into the harbour.

And in the neighbourhood under consideration it is emphatically possible to reduce the smaller breeding places to the minimum, and to practi- cally stamp out malaria.
