4. The Director reported that he had been unable to obtain any further. accommodation at the Imperial Institute, that he understood from an officer of the Board of Works that it would be easier to obtain suitable accommodation else- where next year, and that in the meantime the Bureau could carry on with the existing accommodation.
5. It was agreed that the question of the medical organization for carrying on the investigation into trypanosomiasis should be referred to a Sub-Committee consisting of Sir John Rose Bradford, Sir David Bruce, Sir William Leishman, and Sir John McFadyean, with Dr. Bagshawe as Secretary.
6. The question of adding Dr. Balfour to the Managing Committee of the Bureau was considered, but it was finally decided that the matter should stand

MINUTES OF THE ELEVENTH MEETING OF THE MANAGING COM- MITTEE OF THE TROPICAL DISEASES BUREAU, HELD AT THE COLONIAL OFFICE ON THE 14TH OF OCTOBER, 1914, AT 4.30 P.M.
1.
Present:
SIR WEST RIDGEWAY (in the chair).
SIR JOHN MCFADYEAN.
MR. READ,
SIR RONALD Ross.
SIR STEWART STOCKMAN.
MR. KEITH (Secretary).
DR. BAGSHAWE, Director of the Bureau, also attended.
The minutes of the tenth meeting* were approved.
Dr. Bagshawe reported that no action had hitherto been taken on the decision recorded in paragraph 2 of those Minutes to include typhoid and paratyphoid within the scope of the Bulletin, partly owing to the war and partly because no specially suitable Sectional Editor was available. Dr. Henderson Smith had now offered to do the work, and steps would be taken to include it in the Bulletin.
With reference to paragraph 5 of the Minutes, he reported that a meeting of the Sub-Committee had been called for the 14th of October; owing to the absence of a quorum that meeting was not held.
With regard to paragraph 6 of the Minutes, it was explained that the ques- tion of adding Dr. Balfour to the Managing Committee had been allowed to stand over, as, under the standing arrangements, it was not considered desirable that a member of the Managing Committee should also be a sub-editor, having regard, inter alia, to the fact that any person who was both a member of the Managing Committee and a sub-editor would occupy a somewhat ambiguous position with regard to the Director of the Bureau. After discussion it was agreed that the proposal to offer Dr. Balfour a seat on the Managing Committee should not be carried further.
2. The accounts of the Agent were received and explained by the Director. who mentioned that the number of subscriptions for the Tropical Diseases Bulletin had now reached 357, and those for the Tropical Veterinary Bulletin had now reached 123.
3. The question of a separate publication for Tropical Sanitation, the con- sideration of which was deferred at the ninth meeting of the Managing Committee on the 22nd of April, 1914, was further considered. It was explained that Sir Havelock Charles, who had raised objections to a separate publication, was unable to be present, owing to his absence on the Continent on military duty, and, that he had not intimated any change in his views. It was agreed, therefore, that no substantial alteration should be made without his approval, but the Director put forward a proposal to which he thought Sir Havelock Charles was not likely to take exception, namely, that the publication should be continued on the present basis, that the sanitation numbers should be called Sanitation supplements," should he paged continuously and not with the rest of the Bulletin, and should be offered

for a separate subscription as well as part and parcel of the Bulletin. explained that the parts could already be bought separately, and that therefore it was at present possible for those interested in sanitation only-and the number was considerable--to take the sanitation numbers, but they were inconvenient to bind unless they were bound up with the rest of the Bulletin. After a discussion it was agreed that the Managing Committee should authorize Dr. Bagshawe to carry his proposal into effect, subject to his obtaining the concurrence of Sir Havelock Charles on the return of the latter to this country.
4. Dr. Bagshawe reported that the Librarian and Secretary of the Bureau -Mr. Sheppard-had been given permission to join the Army Service Corps for the period of the war; that Dr. Bahr, who, in accordance with the decision of the Managing Committee at their ninth meeting, should have taken the position of Dr. Low as Assistant Director of the Bureau, had obtained a commission in the Royal Army Medical Corps, and that accordingly the work of the Bureau during the period of the war would be carried on by himself and the typists attached to the Bureau, of whom one would be Acting Librarian. He also reported that, of the Sectional Editors, Major Cummins was serving with the Royal Army Medical Corps, and Dr. Hindle had obtained a commission in the Royal Engineers, but he stated that he did not anticipate any difficulty in carrying on the work of the Bureau. Supplies of German and French papers had very largely fallen off and the Bulletin would appear less often in consequence. It was agreed that the Director's arrangements were satisfactory.
5. The Director reported that the subjects of cholera and plague, which had hitherto been entrusted to one Sectional Editor, had now been divided, that of plague being undertaken by Dr. Brooks, the Secretary to the Plague Commission, and that of cholera by Dr. Penfold, who was connected with the Lister Institute. He added that the suggestion had been made that the Bulletin should review works on military sanitation, which was a question of special interest at the present time, but he doubted whether it was desirable for the Bulletin to extend into a new field for which adequate provision was in a large measure made by other publications. It was agreed that it was unnecessary to include this topic.

2. The Director reported that, in the temporary absence of Major S. L. Cummins, he had asked Dr. Henderson Smith to carry on the work of Sectional Editor for leprosy, but that this arrangement could, if necessary, be terminated in three months' time: that he had asked Dr. R. T. Leiper to take on the Sectional Editorship for filariasis as a "half subject" in addition to helminthiasis, now that Dr. G. C. Low had had to give it up; that he proposed to ask Dr. Graham Little. Physician for Skin Diseases at St. Mary's Hospital, to take the work of Sectional Editor for skin diseases; and that, in the absence of Dr. Warrington Yorke, he was himself doing the sleeping sickness work.
There was some discussion on these changes in staff, and the suggestions were made that Dr. Abraham would be a valuable editor for the leprosy work and for the
