THE epidemic that swept with such astonishing rapidity over the country, affecting very nearly half a million of the population in four different provinces, provided sufficient clinical material at the De Soysa Lying-in Home to enable me to observe during pregnancy, labour, and puerperium a large number of women suffering from malaria of various types and varying degrees of severity. A study of the many varied and uncommon clinical features which have been observed or the factors responsible for the epidemic is outside the scope of this paper. I propose to discuss on this occasion only those aspects of the disease which are of importance to the obstetrician.
