Melodrama, etc., may be very successful at a trans-pontine theatre, but it is unpardonably out of place in our salons.

The Pontine Marches have long been the worst breeding places for mosquitoes known to a suffering world.

Of the Pontine Marshes themselves it is certain that they are not salubrious, and malaria is most prevalent near them.

Cisterna di Roma, a dozen kilometres further on, is a typical hill top town overlooking the Pontine Marshes below.

Arbuthnot's visit has quite set me up, like a whiff of London in the Pontine marshes of Trieste.
