SIR C. LUCAS to PROFESSOR DUNSTAN.
[Answered by No. 71.]
Downing Street, 12 December, 1910. ALL the pictures painted by the Visual Instruction Committee's artist, Mr. A. Hugh Fisher, during his engagement are the property of the Committee and in their possession. I fear we cannot part with any of them until we have finished with the colouring of slides, but it is possible that some, at least, may be available eventually for permanent exhibition in the galleries of the Imperial Institute, and I will bring your letter before the Committee at their next meeting.
Yours sincerely,
C. P. LUCAS.

MY DEAR DUNSTAN,
[Answered by No. 69.]
Downing Street, 28 November, 1910. I WISH we could present the Victoria League with a set of the slides of the Indian lectures; but we really have not the money to do so at present. It would mean a gift of about £50, but the Victoria League are not at all likely to be for- gotten if and when we can make something out of our scheme.
I fear I cannot say more at present.

PROFESSOR DUNSTAN to SIR C. LUCAS.
(Received 19 December, 1910.)
Imperial Institute, London, S.W., December 17, 1910. It will be very kind of you if you will put before the Visual Instruction Com- mittee the proposal that Mr. Fisher's sketches should be exhibited in the Colonial and Indian courts of the public galleries here. They would be much appreciated, for our increasing number of visitors include many who come to learn what the various countries of the Empire are like; and visits from schools are now a frequent occurrence The few pictures we have already have proved to be very popular and useful. They afford an impression which no photograph can give.

Imperial Institute, London, S.W., December 10, 1910. MANY thanks for your letter, which does not give me much hope of being able to have the slides at an early date as we had hoped.
Could you give me the name and address of the artist (Fisher, I think) who went out to the East for your Committee? It has occurred to me that some of his pictures might be useful for our galleries here,, which I am now trying to relieve of a com- plaint of" dullness" on the part of the ordinary visitor.

DEAR SIR,

[Answered by No. 51.]
The London Geographical Institute, 32, Fleet Street,
London, E.C., 23rd December, 1910. WITH reference to our recent interview, the question of publishing further volumes similar to the one on India" has been considered by our Directors.
We understand that the volumes already decided upon will deal with (1) Im- perial Coaling Stations, (2) Canada and Newfoundland, (3) Australasia; and will consist of practically the same amount of matter as the volume on published.
India" already
We shall be very pleased to undertake the publication of these three volumes on the same terms as the "India," with the exception of the cost of securing the American copyright. In order to obtain copyright in America, it is necessary to incur the very heavy cutlay of having the work re-set up in the United States, and we find that the scheme is not one which appears likely to appeal to the American public, as, naturally, it has been prepared entirely from the standpoint of this country.
In the event of a special Lecturers' Edition of these volumes being required, with references to the slides, it will be possible to prepare such editions at the same time as the popular edition without having them entirely re-set. In the event of
