During its course through Europe influenza had developed a greatly
heightened virulence and toward the end of August it again appeared in
the United States apparently traveling in a reverse direction from that
of its first spread and, entering the country at Boston, it spread to
the West and South until the entire country was covered. The West Indies
were invaded early in August and in the same month the disease had
spread through India as far as the Punjab. In September the epidemic
continued through the West Indies, attacked Mexico and Canada, and had
attained such remote localities as the South Africa Union, Senegal and
Korea. In October the spread was particularly distributed through South
America, and in this month again remote localities such as Alaska, New
Zealand, the Hawaiian Islands, Australia, and Madagascar were reached.
Islands, which although not very remote, were isolated except for the
arrival of occasional ships, such as Cuba, the Azores and the Canary
Islands, were first reported attacked in October. In November the spread
continued throughout the world, and among the more remote localities
should be mentioned Samoa, Arabia, Iceland. In December, Lapland, the
Society Islands and the Fiji Islands were invaded (see Chart XI).
