![PREFACE In 1891 I had an opportunity of investigating the latter end of an outbreali of Relapsing Fever ■which occurred among the workmen engaged in the Khojak Tunnel Works, and availing myself of this opportunity I undertook a series of examinations of the blood of the patients suffering from this disease. An account of my results was submitted to the Surgeon-General with the Government of India in a report which was subsequently published in the Indian Medical Gazette. I did not pursue my investigations with the object of making any con- tributions to the literature of the subject, my object only being to offer sufficient evidence as to the existence of the disease ; owing to this, I did not attempt to make any drawings of my pre])arations and I regret to say that those preparations which I retained have since deteriorated from climatic in- fluences. I have whenever it has been considered necessary filled up this deficiency by borrowing from other works.
