Kinston, Dec. 27—the International health board will continue its experiments in malaria in at least two eastern Carolina counties the coming year. The board during the past few months has conducted extensive surveys in Lenoir and Pamlico counties. Headquarters were established here with Dr. Herbert A. Taylor in charge. Dr. Taylor has extensive experience in South America, Louisiana and elsewhere. The experiments at Grainger, in Lenoir county, have not developed average infection of the population, though numerous varieties of mosquitoes, mostly of non-malarial species, have been found in the vicinity. The work in Pamlico has shown a considerable percentage of infection. Educational work on a large scale will be done there, aside from the main purposes of the work, which is intended to be primarily experimental.
