In reply to your Circular despatch of the 29th May, 1914,* with reference to the Conference of the official entomologists of the Empire which it is proposed to hold in London during the latter part of July, 1915, I have the honour to inform you that it is not feasible to arrange for the attendance at the Conference of the Government Entomologist of this Colony.

Government House, Seychelles, 30th June, 1914.
I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Circular despatch of the 29th May, 1914,* regarding the proposed Conference of the official entomolo- gists of the Empire in London in the latter part of July, 1915.
2. I thoroughly realise the very great importance of such a meeting in the interest of the agricultural community and the Empire at large, but I regret that our finances do not permit of my recommending the despatch of Mr. Dupont, the Curator of the Botanic Station (who combines the duties of Entomologist and Mycologist in this Colony) to attend this Conference. His salary is small, and it would be necessary to considerably augment it to enable him to visit Europe, and the cost of the passage money is heavy. At the lowest computation I calculate the expenses would amount to £250 to £300 (say, Rs. 3,750-4,500), and I am not clear that the Colony could afford this sum next year. Should our finances improve, I would ask to reopen the question later. At present I am concerned with the heavy expenses our small frances have been called upon to bear in connection with the Williamson regime as Acting Chief Justice in 1911, and it appears wise to be very cautious as to incurring expenses in the future until the state of our finances can be judged at the close of this year.
3. I trust that my caution in this regard may not be considered as showing any lack of enthusiasm as regards a Conference which may so widely affect the future interests of this Colony.
