The annual Report of the Rose * Institute (from the Ross Institute, Putney Heath, S.W. 15) and accounts for 1928. are encouraging reading, for the noble work it is doing in the prevention of malaria progresses and flourishes, in spite of the scanty funds available. Sir Ronald Ross wrote a number of books and articles last year, and is now revising his import- ant Prevention of Malaria, which deals with the mathematics of. epidemics. One of his lieutenants, Sir Malcolm Watson, made an extensive tour throughout India, in the course of- which he met Rao Bahadur Dr. Naidu, Sir Ronald's assistant when he discovered the anopheles larvae at Secunderabad in 1897. Remarkably important researches are being made in London by Dr. Shaw-Mackenzie and by Sir William Simpson in the laboratory of the Institute in connexion with cancer, and during the current year a number of eases have Ewen treated, with satisfactory results. The Institute depends on voluntary contributions, and all sums given to it go towards work which has had, and will have, an incalculable effect in alleviating human misery.
