Since the publication of the Indian Plague Commission in 1901, with the exception of a short paper by Hankin (1905), comparatively little has been published in scientific journals dealing with the spread of plague in India from an epidemiological view-point. Not that this has been lost sight of in India, for there are many very valuable reports in existence in the archives of the various local Governments, containing most interesting observations made by officers of the Indian Medical Service who have dealt personally with the epidemics; but as these reports are, in the nature of things, not available for reference by the public, it has been thought advisable and useful to compile a digest of them for publication.
