Twenty-first Biennial Reiport 49 Referring again to Dr. Bonner's records it will be seen that in 1923, at no time did his calls rise above seven per week, even in the season of greatest transmission. In 1924, the highest number seen was 12, in one week in October. Records for 1925 are not available, but the general impression is that there was very little malaria there the past season. This is probably true, especially since it was a year of deficient rainfall. Present Survey The present survey was undertaken during the second week in August, 1926, for the purpose of determining the amount of malaria present, and the opportunities for its transmission, and the reasons for any change that may have occurred. The survey was made by a house-to-house canvass, and the following information was secured: Name, age, sex, race, length of residence in locality, history of acute malaria within past year, type of house and condition of screens, and history of intensive quinine treatment. At the same time, spleen examination was made on all children under 15 years of age, and blood smears were taken from approximately half the people. After the history was concluded, the house was carefully searched for adult mosquitoes. Results of Survey A total of 161 persons were taken in the census, from 41 occupied houses. Seven occupied houses were not taken in the census, since the occupants were not at home when the census was made. Of this number 120 were whites, and 41 negroes. Separation was not made into the sexes, since this was not deemed important. The following gave a history of at least one chill, followed by fever and sweating, since March, 1925. Since the use of quinine is so general, and is taken for almost any ailment, it was difficult to elicit a history of more than three or four chills from anyone. 1925 1926 March April June July Aug. Sept. Oct. Dec. March May July Aug. Total 1 2244721 1 231 30 (Dupl) (Dupl) Whites, 22, Negroes, 8, and equally distributed through all ages. It is quite possible that some of these histories were not malarial. Following are the results of the blood and spleen examinations: Number Spleen Palpable Blood Age Examin-ed Examined No. % Exambied Pos\ 0-2 _______________ ____________ _. 5 3 0 — 2-4 ________________ ___________________10 10 • 0 6 1 5-9 ________________ __________________25 25 4 18 0 10-14 . ________________31 23 3 22 0 15-19 ........... ____________________11 ____ __ 8 0 20-39 ______ ___________________41 ____ 16 0 40 up .............. _________________38 —- - 12 0 161 61 7 11.5% 82 1
