(No. 267.) MY LORD,
No. 1.
UGANDA.
THE GOVERNOR to THE SECRETARY OF STATE.
(Received 12 January, 1909.)
[Answered by No. 7.]
Government House, Uganda, 3 December, 1908.
I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Lordship's circular despatch of the 3rd of April last,* covering copies of the Report of the Advisory Committee for the Tropical Disease Research Fund for the year 1907.
2. In compliance with the suggestion contained in the fourth paragraph of the despatch above quoted, I transmit herewith certain observations made by Dr. Hodges, the Principal Medical Officer of this Protectorate.
I have, &c.,
H. HESKETH BELL,
Governor.
Enclosure in No. 1.
CHIEF SECRETARY,
Entebbe,
Principal Medical Officer's Office,
Entebbe, Uganda, 26th November, 1908.
With regard to Minute 2, it is to be remembered that the bacteriologist and the laboratory at Nairobi are half supported by the Uganda Protectorate. The laboratory reports should, therefore, be headed "East Africa Protectorate and Uganda Protectorate Laboratory Report." Further, all the sleeping sickness investi- gations done here during the period under review, and which are recorded or pub. fished elsewhere, should count to Uganda in this connection.
On my recent visit to Nairobi I was able to ascertain that the smear specimen of plague referred to on page 142 of the report was one sent from Entebbe in February, 1907, and was taken from the case in which I reported the discovery of plague bacilli on February 20, 1907, a discovery which was afterwards confirmed by the bacteriologist and the Principal Medical Officer at Nairobi. This observa- tion should, therefore, also have appeared to the credit of Uganda Protectorate in the report.
A. D. P. HODGES, Principal Medical Officer, Uganda.
