of them were inserted. I also received the following
communication in answer to a letter I addressed to
Dr. Jeaffreson on the subject:—
24, George Street, Croydon,—S.
3rd October, 18G5.
My dear Dr. Lankester,
As far as my recollection serves me, yon are quite right
in what you say concerning your Little Windmill Street, which
was not mentioned in the letter I sent to The Times. The street
of that name referred to in the letter was mentioned in connection
with the parish of Lambeth, and is bordering on the New Cut,
as it is called in that district.
I have left the L. F. H. but I have no doubt that should you
want any returns for any locality in which you may bo interested,
my successor, Mr. C. E. Squarey, will furnish thern with much
pleasure.
Relieve me, Sir,
Ever yours faithfully,
HORACE JEAFFRESON.

epidemic of Small Pox which has not yet culminated.
That England should suffer so severely from Small
Pox must be regarded as a great disgrace to its
