* During my visit to Borjulie I saw a large number of characteristic cases of kala azar among the tea-garden coolies.
In the spleen-blood of all cases which I should have diagnosed as kala azar Dr. Bentley had already found "Leishman"
parasites. For this reason I did not think it necessary to examine their blood again and they are not entered here.
