tercourse, and the existence of deserts and other physical obstacles would
contribute to make precautions taken in those regions particularly effica
cious. Rigorous quarantine against arrivals from an infected locality
was to be restricted to a period of 10 days after entering the lazaret, and,
in the case of ships fulfilling certain conditions, the days of the voyage
up to a maximum of 9 might be reckoned days of quarantine.

The fifth epidemic of cliolera in Europe, 1869-74.
Not long after the Constantinople Conference Europe was affected
by a fresh visitation of cholera, the fifth of the series. The disease
entered Europe via Persia and Russia; but whether Persia^ had been
infected from India across Afghanistan or from Turkish Iraq, which
cholera had recently invaded both from the Mediterranean and from the
Persian Grulfj or whether two soparate streams of infection converged in
Persia, cannot be determined. This epidemic did not become general in
the west; bnt severe outbreaks took place in Europe, among which was
one at Munich in 1873.
Cholera epidemic in Arabia and Persia, 1871.
About the same time the conclusions of the Conference of 1866 as
to the virtual impassability of deserts (or tracts which they assumed to
be such) by cholera were partially invalidated by the diffusion of the
disease in 1871 from Najaf across Arabia to the Red Sea coast, it
reached Hail in June, Madinah in September, and Makkah m October
of the same year. This Arabian epidemic seems to have started fiom
