Downing Street, 3 April, 1908.
I HAVE the honour to transmit to you, for your information, copies of the Report of the Advisory Committee for the Tropical Diseases Research Fund for the year 1907, which has been presented to Parliament.
2. I shall be glad if you will cause copies to be presented to those officers who have contributed material to the Report.
3. The proofs of the Report have been examined with all possible care, but it is impossible to avoid errors in printing technical matter of this description. I hope, therefore, in future to cause proofs of all reports to be forwarded to you for revision by the authors and return, and I shall be glad if you will request those responsible for the reports to secure that all proper names, figures, and technical words are written as clearly as possible.
4. I shall be glad to receive and to communicate to the Advisory Committee any observations which you or your medical advisers may care to offer on the Report.

SIR,
Downing Street, 3 April, 1908. In my Circular despatch of even date, I have transmitted to you copies of the Report of the Advisory Committee for the Tropical Diseases Research Fund for 1907. It will be observed that in that Report Dr. Castellani's investigations into yaws and syphilis have been curtailed by the omission of the details of his experi- ments on monkeys. This has been done to obviate the possibility of hostile criticism from the not inconsiderable body of opinion in this country which is opposed to experiments of this character.
any
I request that you will cause Dr. Castellani to be informed of the reason for the omission of part of his report, and will authorise him to publish it in scientific journal, if he so desires.
I have, &c.,
9839
ELGIN.

MR. A. H. MILNE to SIR C. P. LUCAS. (Received 1 May, 1908.)
DEAR SIR CHARLES,
[See No. 24.]
B 10, Exchange Buildings, Liverpool, 30 April, 1908. REFERRING to the official letter of the Colonial Office, dated 2nd September last, signed by yourself, I should be glad to know whether there is a possibility of the School receiving the balance of the grant referred to therein, viz., £250 for the period from the 1st of October, 1907, to the 31st of March, 1908,
I do not wish to write officially on the subject if it can be avoided, as the School are most grateful for the money and help that the Government has already given. So you will excuse me addressing you informally.
