The campaign against mosquitoes in
Sierra Leone. as set forth by Major
Ross IL the progress report of the Liv-
erpoOl School Of Tropical Science, will
be instructive to ell! interested in the
public health. The campaign Is the
first ever carried out on a large scale
with the object of Kidding an entire
town in the tropics of mosquitoes.
Moreover. 1t is probably the first in
stance of public sanitary measures be-
ing undertaken by private agency and
by private funds. Despairing of Sc
curing help from the authorities, Major
Ross set about the work. OF extirpat-
ing malaria in Sierra Leone by private
enterprise. His forces were divided
into two gangs, n the culex gang, to
collect from private houses all broken
bottles, empty tin cans, and old Gala"
bashes. in which mosquitoes OF the
genuses stegomyia and culex breed.
The duty OF the anopheles gang was to
drain the pools and puddles in the
streets n back yards Of the houses

gang removed more than a thousand
cart loads of rubbish. The %anopheles
gang had a more difficult job. owing
chiefly to the large rainfall. 100 inches
annually, but in a few weeks it made
great progress in attacking the pools
and puddles, by filling them. draining
sweeping them out. treating them with
petroleum. creosote. etc. The results
are described as Unexpectedly en-,
couraging." 1t Is too soon to formu.
late the statistics of reduction in the
number of cases of the disease. AS tC
yellow fever Major Ross expects
speedy results because it is not a lin
gering disease, but as regards the
other two mosquito-b borne diseases
malaria and flariasis, the good results
will not be- so Immediately manifest
Major Ross does not think there is
much evidence that the mosquitoes
are carried far by the winds, and
hence the utility of destroying the
local breeding places. He commends
the Americans for the common sense
and energy with which they have at
tackled this question, so different from
the hesitation and apathy generally
shown by the British" A forthcom-
