(From the Government Biological Laboratoru, Manila; P.1.) THE fauna and flora of the tropics being in general different from that of the more temperate latitudes, in genera as well as in species, we may reasonably expect that this observation will hold good also with reference to the very lowest forms of life - bacteria and protozoa-without, however, being unmindful of the fact that certain families and even species are distributed over an enormous territory under the most varied conditions of life. We can hardly expect to find that those bacteria and protozoa which are strict parasites of widely distributed races are limited in area, unless it be that they depend in certain stages of their life-cycle upon an intermediate host, itself confined to certain areas. To cite an example: The tubercle bacillus is found practically wherever an easily susceptible host of this parasite­ like the human being-dwells. Hemameba malariae-likewise a parasite of man-is not so widely distributed, because it depends for its dissemination upon an intermediate host-the anopheles, the distribution of which is not identical with that of man.
