TitleLetter from C W Daniels, Blantyre, Africa, to the Malaria Committee of the Royal Society
Date15 May 1899
DescriptionHas been informed that Drs Stephens and Christophers are reporting 'unfavourably' on the conditions for studying malaria in Blantyre; has not been there long but has formed a different opinion; gives the result of examinations on the blood of several native and European cases; notes mosquitoes are rare 'and few people use curtains,' describes the species he has seen; suggests that Central Africa has advantages for the investigation given the frequency of malarial cases, other reasons; feels that 'to leave British Central Africa before this parasitology has been thoroughly worked out would not only destroy the credit of the Commission but would foster the belief that such knowledge is unattainable under ordinary conditions'. p28-33.
