MY LORD,
(Received 20 July, 1908.) [Answered September 2, 1908, No. 735 (31202).]
Government House, Lagos, Southern Nigeria,
26 June, 1908. I HAVE the honour to forward herewith the report of Mr. Garden, Temporary Veterinary Surgeon, on his veterinary survey of the Colony and Protectorate. The report is an interesting one, and I should be glad if it could be arranged for Mr. Gården to return for a further tour of service. Should he return he should be supplied with a complete travelling outfit of medicines and instruments required in his work, packed in tin boxes suitable for head carriage, as well as a complete camp equipment, with tent, such as is supplied to officers of the Road Construction and Telegraph Construction Departments.
2. By the time Mr. Garden returns the research laboratory at Yaba should be completed and facilities could be afforded to Mr. Garden for carrying on research work there.
3. I should be glad of an early reply on the subject of Mr. Garden's return so that the necessary expenditure may be provided in the Estimates for 1909.

Enclosure in No. 229.
YOUR EXCELLENCY,
Lagos, 5th June, 1908. I HAVE the honour to submit herewith, for Your Excellency's information, and for transmission in due course to the Secretary of State, my report on the veterinary survey of Southern Nigeria.
2. In the form the report takes I have endeavoured, while furnishing a general account of work accomplished, at the same time to indicate the nature of the prevalent diseases found amongst various classes of animals without entering into too many technicalities. In places where an actual enumeration of cases examined, &c., would be more or less a repetition of what has gone before, they have been more generally grouped.
3. For the purpose of indicating to Your Excellency the principal contents of the report I may mention that in drawing it up the following general headings have been kept in view :-
4.
(a) Itinerary and account of movements. Pages 156 to 158.
(b) Detailed account of work done under "Provinces." Pages 158 to 160.
(c) Separate articles under specific diseases with tabulated results.
(i) Trypanosomiasis. Pages 160 to 167.
(ii) Lagos horse sickness. Pages 167 to 169.
(iii.) Epizootic lymphangitis.
(iv.) Scab. Page 170.
Pages 169 to 170.
(d) Article on stock rearing, improving, &c. Pages 170 and 171.
(e) Concluding remarks:-Flies, wild animals, treatment of animals, horse
shoeing, slaughtering of animals. Pages 171 and 172.
As Your Excellency will no doubt be aware, in a general survey of only twelve months little can be done towards the settling of minute points of scientific research, but as I have pointed out, a certain amount of work remains to be done with the material which I am taking to England with me; and I may say with confidence that should it be decided to continue veterinary investigations in this country my work will provide a basis for my successor to commence upon.
