Enclosure in No. 46.
(Ministers' Minute, No. 499.)
Prime Minister's Office, Pretoria, 26 October, 1909. Ministers have the honour to acknowledge receipt of His Excellency the Deputy Governor's Minute, No. 33/19, of the 30th September, on the subject of entomo- logical research in Africa, and in reply thereto to recommend that the Right Honourable Secretary of State for the Colonies be invited to extend the privileges referred to in his despatch addressed to the Officers Administering the Governments of the East and West African Protectorates to the veterinary staff of the Transvaal, in order that they may be enabled, should they desire to do so, to avail themselves of the provisions which have been made for veterinary surgeons in Africa to study entomology at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the Natural History Museum, and the London and Liverpool Schools of Tropical Medicine.
Ministers have the honour to state further that the Transvaal Entomologist
has been instructed to furnish Mr. Guy Marshall with copies of the Annual Report of the Transvaal Department of Agriculture, and also of any bulletins in regard to entomolgical work which may be available.
Ministers transmit herewith six copies of the Proceedings of the Pan-African Veterinary Conference* from which it will appear that veterinary officers in the Transvaal, and, indeed, in South Africa generally, have for some time devoted attention to entomological research in so far as it concerns insect-borne diseases of stock.
Ministers will add, for the information of the Right Honourable Secretary of State, that the Administrations of the various South African Colonies have equipped and are now sending out, at the instance of the Transvaal Minister of Agriculture, a small expedition for the purpose of studying undetermined types of trypanosomiasis amongst animals which are reported to have recently made their appearance in Rhodesia and Portuguese East Africa.

LOUIS BOTHA.
THE GOVERNOR to THE SECRETARY OF STATE. (Received 15 December, 1909.)
(No. 207.) MY LORD,
Government House, Bathurst, Gambia, 16th November, 1909.
I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Lordship's despatch "Miscellaneous," of the 9th of September last,† and I beg to say that the instruc- tions it contains with regard to free transport being granted to the entomological expert who is to be sent to the Colony by your Lordship will be carried out. scientific material collected by him will also be sent home at the Government expense, and every possible assistance in his work will be given him by this Government.
All
2. I am assured by the Government medical officers that they will co-operate with the expert in every way they can, and I may mention that Dr. Hopkinson. who is the Protectorate Medical Officer and travels constantly through the Proter- torate, will have more opportunities of rendering assistance than the other medical officers, and this he has expressed his readiness to give; the Travelling Commis- sioners also should be able to afford valuable aid, which, no doubt, they will do, and to this I will add that it would seem to me that the details of the work and the material required can best be arranged between them and the expert after his arrival in the Gambia.
3. I would suggest that Dr. Hopkinson, who is interested in other branches of natural history, should take the proposed entomological course when next on leave, which, in the ordinary course of events, will be in July, 1910, and thus gain as much as is possible of the necessary knowledge of the different orders of insects which are to be the subject of enquiry. Dr. Franklin is also prepared to go through the course, and could do so in September next, when he will be in. England on leave.
