Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Geographical Distribution of Some Tropical Diseases, and Their Relation to Physical Phenomena
With regard to the data concerning the geographical distribution of the diseases, I am indebted for my principal facts to the Hand book of Geographical and Historical Pathology, by Dr August Hirsch, and to the copious bibliography which accompanies his various chapters. I have not, however, hesitated in any case where my own information, or information gathered from other sources, modifies or supplements his data, to make use of the same, and I have as far as possible verified the facts I have given.
The maps which illustrate this paper have been specially prepared for it, and in order to ensure as great accuracy as is possible on such small maps, the areas of the distribution of the various diseases have been drawn upon large maps used for lecturing purposes, and sub sequently reduced by photography to the scale suited for publication in the Proceedings of this Society.
