Abstract
IN the Heath Clark Lectures, delivered by theauthor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in December, 1934, a semi-popular account was given of the most recent developments in malariology. The present volume, published under the terms of the bequest, gives a presentation of material gathered for these lectures. As the author points out, the book is in no sense a text-book on malaria, but a discussion of the newer findings in malaria and the way these are changing our ideas of what endemic malaria is, why it persists, and how it can be attacked. That the title should be “Malaria in Europe” is no surprise to those familiar with recent work on this disease, for there has been no more interesting chapter in the history of malaria research than that which has had to do with the recent unravelling of the malaria problems in Europe.
