We have the honour to inform you that the Liverpool School of Tropical Diseases}

A.-Patients.
Over 170 cases of various tropical diseases have been treated at the special ward of the School in the past year with success.
B-Training of Students and Nurses.
The School has admitted and trained, amongst others, medical men hokling official appointments under Her Majesty's Government, foreign doctors of distinction, and a few nurses supplied by the Colonial Nursing Association, London.
C-Expeditions for Purposes of Medical Research.
Two expeditions, one of which is at present in Southern Nigeria, have been de- spatched by the School to West Africa for the purpose of investigating malarial fever and other tropical ailments. A third expedition is now being organised to proceed up the Amazon at an early date to study yellow fever, details of which will be shortly
sent to you.
D.-Publications of the School.
Two very valuable works on the subject of malarial fever have been published by the School and widely circulated, one of which has already reached a fourth edition. Other works of a similar nature are in course of compilation.
3. The special research work carried on in the laboratories of the School will be of great value to science, and the institution has proved to be a very important addition to the University of Liverpool.
