1. An epidemic of meningococcal meningitis, due to Type II meningococcus, occurring in a large native population is briefly described.

2. A method of preparing prophylactic meningococcal vaccine on a large scale, and its experimental application in the epidemic is demonstrated.

3. The results obtained in two similar groups of natives, one inoculated with meningococcal vaccine and the other with T.A.B. vaccine, as to the incidence of, and death rate from, meningococcal meningitis are detailed.
