Abstract
IN NATURE of June 24 Sir Ray Lankester repeats his statement that the transmission of Filaria bancrofti from infected to healthy men through the intermediation of the mosquito is not a sufficiently established fact. I trust you will permit me to state, for the benefit of those of your readers who may be puzzled by an assertion so discordant with current teaching, that at this school we shall always be happy to demonstrate sections of mosquitoes and of human lymphatic gland that show the facts of that transmission.
