We also recorded the results obtained from the inoculation of eleven non-immune individuals by means of the bite of mosquitoes (culex fasciatus, Fabr. ) that had previously fed on the blood of patients sick with yellow fever. We were able to report two positive results, in which the attack of yellow fever followed the bite of a mosquito within the usual period of incubation of this disease. "; 8vo; 24 pages .
