RECO
Report from Dr. Hunter attached, the Proto-zoological articles on the Haemosporidia and the Trypanosoma of Frog are particularly interesting, those on the Haemosporidia tend to show that the Dactylosoma and the Drepanidium are quite distinct.
The article on the induction of Plague by feeding seems to me to prove conclusively that plague may be infected through the gastro-intestinal tract. I had discussed this question very fully with Dr. Klein when at home on leave and it occurred to me that Dr. Klein's finding that intestinal plague could be set up by feeding with dried cultures and organs might have an important bearing on the epidemiology of the disease as it occurs here, this is being still further investigated.
The final article on the Preservation of natural colours in Museum preparations is of much practical importance.
3rd. October, 1907.
