2. The Committee read Dr. Strong's communication with interest, and they will be glad to learn of any steps which it may be decided to take in consequence of his recommendations. They are inclined, however, to think that it might be well to delay making any definite arrangements until after the Research Institute which is being founded at Townsville has come into being.

MY LORD,
(Received 14 December, 1908.)
Government House, 18 November, 1908. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Lordship's Circular despatch of the 13th of July last,* transmitting, for communication to the Senior Medical Officer, copies of the reports from the School of Tropical Medicine and from the Colonial Laboratory at Hong Kong, which were laid before the Advisory Committee of the Tropical Diseases Research Fund in June last. The Surgeon- General, to whom these reports were referred, states that he has read them with much interest, but adds that they do not appear to call for any observations from him.
2. I trust that the provision of a suitable bacteriological laboratory in this Colony, which has been strongly advocated by Dr. Clare, will enable the Medical Department here to furnish from time to time similar valuable information with regard to tropical diseases; and I have the honour to report, with reference to my despatch, No. 317, of the 28th ultimo,† that the Finance Committee has authorized a vote for the commencement of the work, and that the balance will be provided in next year's Estimates.
I have, &c.,
SIR,

I AM directed by the Earl of Crewe to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 30th of October,* forwarding reports of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine for the six months ended the 31st of October, 1908.
2. In reply, I am to inform you that the reports were laid before the Advisory Committee of the Tropical Diseases Research Fund at their second ordinary meeting on the 27th of November, and were read with interest.
3. The reports will be printed in due course in the Annual Report of the Committee.
4. The Advisory Committee have recommended, and the Secretary of State has approved, that the grants made respect of the year 1908 shall be continued in respect of the year 1909, and the Crown Agents have been instructed to pay to you the sum of £1,000 at any date after the 1st of January next.
