To the right is the Tyrrhenian sea, along the border of which runs a large sand dune covered by an oak forest some 30 miles In length. Between the dune and the sen is a series of lagoons. “At the extreme end a solitary mountain ris^s. to all appearances from the sea. It is Mount Circeo, the cornerstone of tin* Pontine marshes. This mount was an island in bygone ages, as geologists have proved, and Homer, eight centuries before Christ, speaks of it in the ‘Odyssey’ as an Is land, though probably it has already ceased to he so in his day. “The large quadrangle formed by the foothills of the Alban volcanoes, by the Lepine mountains, by the wooded sand dunes of the const, and by Mount Circeo, measuring some l.TO.OOO acres of extraordinarily fertile land, em braces the entire area of the Pontine marshes. The water. hemnuMl in on all sides, could n«>t flow out. "In winter the mountain streams poured their foaming, muddy torrents upon this lowland. Hooding thousands of acres; the rich mud slowly settled, coating tin* fields with a silt which is the finest of fertilizers; then the wa ters gradually ran out through narrow channels until, in summer, only the lowest portion of the land, that which lies practically at sea level, remained in a swampy condition. “A dense, luxuriant growth of water plants sprang up with the approach of the warmer seasons; the stagnant, Lukewarm waters teemed with life of every description, and toward the month of July tin* trf>aeherotis ano pheles mosquito dropped its filmy lar val veil, rose out of the marshes, and. flying nrbumi in search of a li\ing for itself, sowed death upon humanity.^ “By stinging a malaria infected per son the mosquito infects itself, and then, stinging some healthy individual, it eomnnmieates the disease to him. Malaria is not deadly in itself, but its repeated attacks so weaken Hie human organism that frequently fatal illnesses take hold of the fever-stricken body. “The inundationsfin winter and the malaria in summer drove the popula tion out of the plain; but the unparal leled fertiliTy of the soil enticed some people back to defy the disease. The lowlands of the Agro Pontino are de serted: there are no cities or villages, but some lonely hamlets and. scattered here and there farm buildings, in which a fcaw-f*crs>>ns live m ^iiniiner.— “Many centuries ago most of Hie in habitants tied loathe 1 mountains, built (heir towns on some steep hills, and from these vantage points made dashes into the plain to worklthe fields and tend the cattle.
