We have, however, secured our premises on very favourable terms, so far as rent is concerned, and without the heavy initial outlay which appeared to be necessary if the selection had fallen upon Faizabad. There is further the advantage of knowing that a larger number of coolies will now be dealt with and examined before they reach Calcutta, and that the object for which the up-country depôt is being established will be more fully realised.
3. As the new depôt which has been established in Calcutta will only be required for four or five months in the year when joint ships are running to the West Indies, I expect Mr. Gibbes will be able to effect a saving on our estimate for that depôt during the seven or eight months that the depôt will not be used.
4. This estimate for Benares represents half of our present monthly expen- diture on the Trinidad Agency, and the rent for the depôts and house for the Agent represents one-third.
I have, &c.,
A. MARSDEN, Government Emigration Agent for Trinidad, Fiji, Jamaica, and Mauritius.

COLONIAL OFFICE to THE GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION AGENT AT CALCUTTA FOR BRITISH GUIANA, &c.
SIR,
Downing Street, 15 December, 1913. I AM directed by Mr. Secretary Harcourt to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th ultimo,* and to inform you that the question of the issue of notifications respecting the new arrangements in regard to the Emigration Agencies has been referred to the Secretary of State for India, and that a further communica- tion on the subject will be addressed to you.
With regard to the carriage allowances under the altered conditions of the Agencies, I am to say that Mr. Harcourt understands that the existing allowance for the Agent for Trinidad, &c., is £80 a year and that your own allowance is Rs. 75 [a month] or £60 a year.
Before coming to a decision in the matter Mr. Harcourt would wish to be furnished with a joint statement from Mr. Marsden and yourself as to your require- ments in this respect under the new arrangements which will come into force as from the 1st proximo.
I am, &c.,
HENRY LAMBERT,
for the Under-Secretary of State.

WITH reference to [British Guiana: your despatch, No. 69, of the 25th of March last, and previous correspondence] [Jamaica: your despatch, No. 90, of 18th of March last, and previous correspondence] [Fiji: your despatch, No. 369,
of the 23rd of August last§},
From Crown Agents, 18 July, 1913. To Emigration Agent.8 August, 1913. 'To India Office, 8 August, 1913. From Emigration Agent, 9 September,
1913,
I have the honour to transmit to you a copy of the correspondence|| noted in the margin, on the subject of the treatment of Indian emigrants who may be found to be suffering from ankylostome infection.
To India Office, 23 October, 1913. From India Office, 2 December, 1913.
2. You will observe from this corres- pondence that it has long been recognised that local conditions make it impossible to treat emigrants who may be suffering from this infection in the depôts in India, and that it has also been decided that the Surgeons Superintendent cannot be re- quired to undertake the treatment of coolies with thymol or beta-naphthol on the voyage to the Colonies, though there is, of course, no objection to individual surgeons carrying out such treatment on board ship as they may find to be practicable.
[To West Indian Colonies only: 3. I propose to furnish the India Office, in reply to the enquiry contained in the third paragraph of the letter of the 2nd of December. with copies of the Reports** which you have been required to furnish in connection with Mr. Rose's visit.]
[To Fiji: 3. With reference to the enquiry contained in the third paragraph of the letter from the India Office of the 2nd of December, I should be glad to be furnished with a report on the measures which have been taken, or are in con- templation, for dealing with the disease in the Colony.]
I have, &c.,
L. HARCOURT.
