Please refer to the correspondence resting with my
demi-official letter No. 2406 dated the 27th November 1937.
2* I have now received a letter from New Delhi in which
I am informed that the Director, Valeria Survey of India,
suggests that he should send Major Afridi to Bahrain in Jan
uary with a Laboratory Assistant for a preliminary survey.
The idea is that he would be able to estimate the amount and
distribution of malaria by doing spleen and blood examinations.
The pay of Major Afridi and his Assistant will be met by the
Indian Research Fund Association, and the Bahrain Government
will be asked to pay only the Travelling Allowance, halting
and field allowances and contingencies, the total of which
will be approximately Rs. 1600/-.
3. I am informed that it will be useful if all available
figures regarding the incidence of fever cases by weeks, and
meteorological figures relating to rainfall, temperature and
atmospheric humidity could be collected before Major Afridi’s
arrival. If the Bahrain Government decide to accept the pre
sent offer I will ask Dr. Holmes to report on malaria inciden
ce.
4. It is said that it will be necessary for someone to
visit Bahrain during the malaria season later in order to
determine the vector specis of anopholline and discover
its breeding places. This is of course essentfSi before a
control programme can be formulated.
5. I shall be grateful if you will let me have a reply
as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely,
