Extract

For the purpose of present study, Ceylon may be regarded as presenting two definite climatic zones—the hot low plains and the damp cool tea-bearing area of the central provinces, a district lying between the isothermal lines of 70–75° F. (vide map 1); these two zones are probably the main factors in influencing the distribution of malaria in the island.
