Abstract

Just over a year ago I received a letter from someone I had never heard of - Dr. B. R. Laurence, Reader in Entomology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, University of London - saying he would like to meet me to discuss his findings arising out of his recent research. The present essay is the result of our meeting
