Royal Society desired a reasoned report on the result of his investi- gations up to date to be sent to them as soon as possible, (b) that on the expiry of the period for which he was originally appointed he should cease to report to the Royal Society, and should report then to Mr. Marshall for the information of the Bureau of Entomology, and (c) that it would probably be found convenient that he should continue work on Glossina morsitans in Uganda on the completion of his first year, instead of passing on to Nyasaland.
(2) That Dr. Lamborn should proceed in the first instance to Nyasaland, and that Mr. Marshall and Mr. Austen should draw up a provisional programme of work for him in that Protectorate.
Suggestions for obtaining extra workers from outside sources were made, e.g., that the London and Liverpool Schools of Tropical Medicine might be asked to send out investigators, and that a Beit fellow might be elected for this purpose; but no decisions were taken.
It was further suggested that Dr. Aders himself might carry on Glossina research work in the East Africa Protectorate, leaving the Government Entomologist and his assistant free to deal with economic entomology, but this was reserved for consideration until Dr. Aders should reach this country in a few months' time.

(Received 14th July, 1914.)
London, 14th July, 1914.
(No. 623.) SIR,
I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Circular despatch of the 29th May,* regarding the proposed Conference of entomologists in London in July, 1915.
2. I thoroughly support the objects of the Conference, and have consulted the Director of Agriculture, Southern Provinces, who considers that arrangements might be made for the Entomologist and Mycologist to take leave in July so as to be present at the Conference. There is no Entomologist in Northern Provinces, but I hope the Director of Agriculture may be present.
I have, &c.,
F. D. LUGARD,
Governor-General.

IMPERIAL BUREAU OF ENTOMOLOGY.
MINUTES OF THE SEVENTH MEETING OF THE SELECTION SUB- COMMITTEE, HELD AT THE COLONIAL OFFICE AT 4.15 P.M. ON THURSDAY, 16TH JULY, 1914.
PRESENT:
Mr. READ (in the Chair).
Colonel ALCOCK.
Professor LEFROY.
Mr. MARSHALL.
Mr. NEAVE.
Mr. PARKINSON.
1. The minutes of the sixth meeting were approved.
2. Mr. F. W. Dry, Mr. C. B. Williams, and Mr. H. M. Steven were considered for Carnegie Studentships. It was stated that both Mr. Dry, who was specially recommended by Professor Garstang, and Mr. Williams had done good work already, and that they would both be willing to take up appointments in the tropics at a later date if vacancies for Entomologists were then open. It was understood that both these gentlemen would be able to visit America in the coming autumn and winter, but that it would probably be necessary for them to return to this country in April,
1915.
It was decided to offer Carnegie studentships to Mr. Dry and Mr. Williams for a period of six months each on the usual terms; but to defer consideration of Mr. Steven, who would not in any case be able to visit America for some time, being now engaged on work in Germany.
3. Mr. Marshall informed the Sub-Committee that none of the Carnegie students at present in America were willing to go out to Uganda to assist Mr. W. F. Fiske, who was anxious to have an assistant to help him with his investigations. It was decided that in the circumstances the best plan would be to detail Dr. R. E. M'Connell, one of the Uganda Medical Officers engaged on special glossina research work, to act as Mr. Fiske's assistant, if the Uganda Government had no objection to this arrangement. Mr. Marshall was requested, in the first instance, to ascertain what view Dr. C. A. Wiggins, the Deputy Principal Medical Officer of Uganda, now on leave in this country, took of the proposal.

THE GOVERNOR to THE SECRETARY OF STATE, (Received 15th July, 1914.)
Government House, Bathurst, Gambia, 4th July, 1914.
I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Circular despatch of 29th May last,* and, in reply to the enquiry in the last paragraph, would beg to say that there is no Government Entomologist (or officer responsible for entomological work) in this Colony, nor is there any Mycological Department.
2. In these circumstances it does not appear that there can be any useful representation of the Colony at the proposed Conference.
I have, &c.,
EDWARD J. CAMERON,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief.
