search of the Rockefeller Founda.
ton for an animal susceptible to
yellow fever infection OH the coast
Of West Africa is described in the
second instalmepr President
George e. Vincent's review of the

The Rockefeller investigators tried
animal after animal in vain until
finally they hit upon a species of
monkey called Maccacus rhesus,
which alone proved susceptible to
infection.
When the first infected monkey
died the autopsy showed the same
kind Of changes which yellow fever
causes in man. More than so mon.
keys were then infected by blood
TRANSMISSION and by letting the mos
quito stegomyia bite the animal
coming down with the fever and
then few days later, having ii
bite a well monkey. In this way
an experimental animal, the first
need In such experiments, was OBJ
tanned.
The object is to determine
whether the African disease is iden
tical with the yellow fever which
since 1915. with the aid OF the
Foundation has been driven out o.
its strongholds in Peru, Ecuador
and Brazil, or whether it is a dir
tereent species Of malady.
