Wearing Apparel which literally means a covering designed to be worn on a person's body can act as an important physical evidence which can help in retrospective reconstruction of a crime scene in a case of homicide. The ancient world lacked standardized forensic practice which aided criminals in escaping punishment. Criminal investigation and trials relied on forced confessions and witness testimony. However from the 16th century Europe practitioners in army and University settings began to gather informations on the cause and manner of death based on physical evidence that led to emergence of criminalistics i.e. the application of various sciences to answer questions relating to examinations and comparison of biological evidences, trace evidences, impression evidences, ballistics and other evidences like biological stains and injuries over wearing apparels in crime laboratories.

Next year elucidated life-history of a malarial parasite ('Proteosoma Grassii') of birds; infected numerous healthy birds by bites of gnats, thus establishing mosquito theory. Also investigated Kalaayer (Reports to Govt of India, 1898-1899). Appointed Lecturer in Tropical Medicine, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, 1899. Continued malaria investigations in Sierra Leone (Report of Liverpool Expeditions, 1900).
