Many investigations relating to Hygiene and Public Health, possessing permanent scientific value, appear in Annual Reports of Medical Officers of Health, Blue Books and other Publications of Official Bodies within the British Empire. These are not easily available and as a rule no record of them, appears in scientific journals or in an accessible form; consequently much valuable work is lost sight of. To obviate this difficulty the Editors of the “Journal of Hygiene” propose to publish from time to time abstracts of such publications, or parts of them, as appear of sufficient permanent interest. They will be glad to receive copies of official Reports coming under the above description.

page 657 note 1 This conclusion is not altogether justified: for while 35 per cent. of whites and 31 per cent. of mulattos are classified as having “many” or “very many” eggs, only 23 percent. of the negroes fall under these headings. Assuming that there is no difference in habits these figures indicate that the negro is less subject to infection roughly in proportion as he is less subject to illness.
