ROSENAN, M.J., AND GOLDBERGER, JOS. Report of Working Party No. 3,
Yellow Fever Institute. _Yellow Fever Inst. Bull. 15, Pub. Health
and Mar. Hospt. Ser._, 1906. Unsuccessful attempts to grow the
yellow fever parasite. Negative results in the experimental study
of the hereditary transmission of the yellow fever in the mosquito.
Appendix A gives a translation of Marchoux and Simonds' report in
which they report positive results in their experiments along the
same line.
STERNBERG, G.M. Transmission of Yellow Fever by Mosquitoes. _Smith.
Rept._, 1900, pp. 657-673. Review of the early theories in regard
to yellow fever and the work and findings of the yellow fever
commission.
WHITE, J.H. Yellow Fever and the Mosquito. _Jour. Amer. Med.
Assn._, LI, No. 26, Dec. 26, 1908. Considers both _S. calopus_ and
_C. pungens_. Results of early mistakes. Necessity of destroying
mosquito. Methods of destroying mosquito. Habits of mosquito.
Abstract of the Report of the French Yellow Fever Com. at Rio de
Janeiro, 1903. _Pub. Health Report, Pub. Health and Mar. Hospt.
Ser._, Vol. 19, Pt. I, p. 1019. A summary of their findings and
conclusions to the date of report.
DE YBARRA, A.M.F. Yellow Fever Again in Cuba. _Jour. Trop. Med. &
Hyg._, XI, Mar. 2, 1908, pp. 73-78. Cites a number of cases of
yellow fever within the last few years and uses them as evidence
to show that the disease may be transmitted in other ways than by
the mosquito. A strong summing up of the arguments against the
mosquito theory. Reprint of editorial in _Tex. Med. Jour._, Oct.,
1907, also follows this article.
The Extinction of Yellow Fever at Rio de Janeiro. _Lancet_, II,
1909, p. 404. A review of a French publication giving the results
of the work from 1903 to present time. In 1903 before work was
begun there were 584 deaths from yellow fever. In 1908 only 4, and
none so far in 1909. Success accredited to mosquito work and
general sanitation.
A Pioneer in Research on Yellow Fever. Editorial in _Brit. Med.
Jour._, May 30, 1908, p. 1306. Refers to the work of L.D.
Beauperthuy, who, in 1853, set forth the theory that yellow fever

ASHBURN, P.M., AND CRAIG, C.F. Experimental Investigations
Regarding the Ætiology of Dengue Fever. _Jour. Infec. Diseases_,
Vol. V, 1907, pp. 440-475. Conclude that the disease is spread only
by mosquitoes.
COLEMAN, THOMAS D. Dengue. _Osler's Mod. Med._, Vol. II, 1907, p.
