    mTRODUCTIOK This report was commenced by Dr. Horn while attached to the Colonial Office, and is based on the various reports from the Colonial Governments that have been received from time to time. Readers of the report will form their own conclusions as to the correctness of the diagnosis of the cases reported as Yellow Fever. In order to secure a certain degree of uniformity the reports of individual cases have been edited to some extent. A synopsis and a tabular statement of the cases have been added. The material for this report has been supplied by various Officers of the Medical and Sanitary and other Departments of the Colonies concerned. These labours have been supplemented at home by the researches of Mr. G. A. K. Marshall, Scientific Secretary to the Entomological Research Committee ; M. Roubard, Chef de I'lnstitut Pasteur ; and Dr. Harald Seidelin, Scientific Secretary to the Yellow Fever Bureau. These gentlemen have very kindly checked and made additions to the information to be found embodied in the maps of West Africa. The London School of Tropical Medicine have also put at the disposal of the Colonial Office their Laboratory reports on specimens sent to them. The Medical Staft of the War Office have allowed access to the clinical reports on Case 12, and the General Staff' have made themselves responsible for the printing of Maps 5 and 6. Sir Rubert Boyce's report [Cd. 5581] should be studied for further information on the question of Yellow Fever in West Africa. T. F. G. M.
