2. The Sub-Committee understand that the offer made by the Entomological Society for No. 41, Queen's Gate has been accepted, and that although the trans- action is not yet complete, the Society anticipates no difficulty in effecting the purchase of this house.
3. The Sub-Committee has considered the question of obtaining accommo- dation for the Bureau in this house, and at a recent meeting the following proposals were approved:
(a) That the upper three floors and certain basement accommodation should be allocated to the Bureau: in this way nine rooms, as against six rooms in the present building, would be available for the Bureau.
(b) That the Director should be empowered to offer rent up to £250 a year for this accommodation.
(c) That the Bureau should take these rooms on a twenty-one years' lease, with breaks after seven and fourteen years, when the rent would be liable to reassessment.
4. The Sub-Committee understand that the owners of the premises now occupied by the Bureau are not prepared to make any concession in the event of the Bureau quitting the premises before the expiration of the lease, but that they will allow the rent to terminate at a week's notice, and will absolve the Bureau from liability for repairs and dilapidations. The Sub-Committee authorized the Director to enter into an arrangement with the owners on these lines.
5. As regards the rent for the new premises, it may be mentioned that the sum paid for the present accommodation is £150 a year, inclusive of rates and taxes. A house agent, who has examined the new premises, estimates £210 a year as a fair rental for the accommodation which it was proposed to allot to the Bureau. The question whether the Bureau can obtain exemption from payment of rates is under consideration, as it is at present uncertain whether or not this concession can be claimed under the Act of 1843, which exempts from county, borough, parochial, and other local rates land and buildings occupied by Scientific or Literary Societies. If rates and taxes have to be paid, it is probable that they would amount to at least £100 a year.
6. The covering approval of the Committee to the action taken by the Sub- Committee is requested.

REPORT BY CHAIRMAN OF FINANCE SUB-COMMITTEE,
1. THE Committee will recollect that the lease of the premises now occu- pied by the Bureau in Queen's Gate terminates next September, and that at the Thirty-Second General Meeting Dr. Marshall referred to the possibility of obtain- ing the necessary accommodation for the Bureau in new quarters which the Entomological Society was hoping to purchase.

MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE SELECTION SUB-COMMITTEE OF THE IMPERIAL BUREAU OF ENTOMOLOGY, HELd at the ColoNIAL OFFICE ON 20TH DECEMBER, 1920.
Present:
SIR ARTHUR SHIPLEY (Chairman).
DR. R. STEWArt MacDougall.
DR. G. A. K. MARSHALL.
1. THE minutes of the last meeting* were confirmed.
2. The action of the Director in adopting the recommendation of Dr. L. O. Howard, that in view of the low rate of exchange the Carnegie Scholar- ship grants should be increased from £300 to £400, and the travelling allowance from £150 to £200, was formally approved.
3. The Director reported that of the six men to whom Scholarships had been granted in July last, two (Messrs. H. Hargreaves and J. C. Gardner) had with- drawn upon receiving other permanent appointments, and a third, Mr. G. S. Cotterell, had taken up a post as Assistant Entomologist in the Gold Coast, but had asked that his Scholarship might be postponed until his return from his first tour of service, in which he was supported by his Director of Agriculture. The Sub-Committee agreed to accede to this request.
4. The Director then read some correspondence that had taken place between Mr. C. P. Lounsbury and himself on the subject of Carnegie Scholarships. Mr. Lounsbury made a strong appeal that, in view of the fact that no Scholarships
