Dr. Marshall explained to the Sub-Committee that a subject index had been provided annually with Part B of the Review, but with Part A only a short name index had been issued, owing to the difficulties involved. It had been intended to issue a subject index at the end of every three years. The work had originally been entrusted to girl typists, who were quite unskilled as indexers; but since Mr. Neave had come home it was found that the work could be greatly accelerated. It was now proposed to issue an index of some 250 pages, covering the first three volumes; it might be expected to cost 3s. a copy, or £150 for an edition of 1,000 copies. This included the cost of distribution. The Director recommended that it be sold at 58. a copy, and that in future a detailed index be issued annually -without extra charge to the subscribers.
Members expressed the view that a full yearly index was an advantage, and the Director's proposal was agreed to.
3. It was decided that a sum not exceeding £2 a year should be spent on insuring the furniture and books, belonging to the Bureau, at Elvaston Place, against fire and air-raids.

No. 67.
MINUTES OF THE EIGHTEENTH MEETING OF THE FINANCE SUB- COMMITTEE OF THE IMPERIAL BUREAU OF ENTOMOLOGY, HELD AT THE COLONIAL OFFICE on 28th January, 1916.
Present:
DR. HARMER (Chairman).
SIR DAVID PRAIN.
SIR STEWART STOCKMAN.
MR. READ.
DR. MARSHall.
MR. NEAVE.
MR. FIDDIAN (Acting Secretary).
DR. MARSHALL explained the difficulty that had arisen in connexion with the storage of surplus copies of the Review of Applied Entomology and the Bulletin of Entomological Research. He said that at first they had issued editions of 2,000 copies, but since they had been able to form a more precise estimate of their requirements the numbers had been cut down to 1,500. There were about 150 subscribers, and 750 more copies were accounted for by exchange and the free list. Their present accumulations would fill two bins of the size con- templated (21 inches by 28 inches by 22 inches); they proposed to have four bins provided; the estimated cost was £60.
With reference to a suggestion that the surplus might be reduced by reducing the size of the edition, Mr. Read said that it was a mistake to issue too small an edition of a scientific publication; they had had to reprint the back numbers of the Tropical Diseases Bulletin. Sir David Prain agreed, saying that the early numbers of the Kew Bulletin were out of print. Sir Stewart Stockman suggested that the cost might be reduced if the Office of Works could be induced to take the matter in hand and call for tenders.
It was agreed that a sum not exceeding £60 should be allowed for the purpose of providing storage for the surplus stock of the publications of the Bureau.

UGANDA.
THE GOVERNOR to THE SECRETARY OF STATE. (Received 11th February, 1916.)
Government House, Uganda, 10th January, 1916. In continuation of my despatch No. 239, of the 20th August, 1915,* I have the honour to transmit the final report by Mr. W. F. Fiske on his investigations on Lake Victoria, together with copies of correspondence which has passed between him and the Principal Medical Officer in relation to the reclamation of the depopu- lated shores of Victoria Nyanza and the rehabitation of the Sesse Islands.
2. Dr. Hodges considers that any plans of the nature proposed should not be undertaken without careful examination of Mr. Fiske's arguments and extensive consideration of the issues which will be affected by their adoption. He is unable at present, owing to more important calls on his time in connexion with his mili- tary duties, to undertake the examination in detail of the proposals submitted, and, as this is a matter for expert opinion, and any expenditure experiments would entail cannot be met under existing circumstances, I suggest that further action should be deferred until after the termination of war. I have, &c.,
