[Answered by No. 59.]
African House, Water Street, MY DEAR MR. CHAMBERLAIN,
Liverpool, June 21, 1900. ENCLOSE you a letter, dated the 20th of June, with reference to the Liverpool Tropical School, and will be glad now if you will have orders given for the full recog- nition of this grand object in Liverpool. Mind, we are always willing to admit that it is following out your example, but we will do great work in Liverpool yet, and I am perfectly certain you are deeply interested and will be extremely pleased to see the work we are accomplishing. We are now about to send off an expedition, first to America, and then to the Brazils.
I send you the " Daily Post" of the 20th inst.,* which you will be pleased to read.

I am directed to inform you that the question has been raised afresh by Dr. Rowell, C.M.G., a member of my Board, and on the following grounds:-
(A) That no reply has been received to the letter addressed to the Under Secre-
tary of State for the Colonies on the 27th November, 1899.*
(B.) That no officer in the Colonial Service has made application for treatment
in the Society's hospitals.
It has been suggested that the standard of income may have been placed at too low a figure, or the charges in the schedule at too high a figure, or that some of the conditions put forward by the Society may have had a tendency to deter officers in the Colonial Service from seeking relief at the Society's hospitals. intimate that if the various proposals emanating from my Board do not quite meet the I am, therefore, to case, the Secretary of State for the Colonies may be pleased to make a definite pro- posal to this Society as to the treatment of officers in the Colonial Service when suffering from some form of tropical ailment and the remuneration to be paid by them.
I am, &c.,
P. MICHELLI,
Secretary.
Yours, &c.,
ALFRED L. JONES.

DEAR SIR,

The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. Important Public Meeting.
I AM directed to inform you that an important meeting will be held in the Public Sales Room, B 9, Exchange Buildings, on Monday next, the 25th of June, at three p.m., to consider what action should now be taken by the School to press upon the Government the necessity for the amelioration of the conditions of life in West Africa, and other tropical countries, by improved sanitation, better water supply, segregation of Europeans, and other means.
Mr. A. L. Jones, chairman of the School, will preside, and the meeting will be addressed by Major Ronald Ross and Dr. R. Fielding Ould, who were specially sent by the School to West Africa to study this question; and, also, by Dr. Durham and Dr. Walter Myers, the members of the Third (Yellow Fever) Expedition of the School, who proceed to Brazil the following day.
I am to say that your presence at the meeting would be very much appreciated to strengthen any resolution that may be passed.

SIR,
The Royal Society, Burlington House, W., June 27, 1900. THE Malaria Committee of the Royal Society have had under consideration your letter of May 23,‡ and have discussed the question proposed by Mr. Secretary Chamberlain as to the continuance of the investigations now being carried on.
The Committee are of opinion that the services of Dr. Daniels in connection with the investigations may be brought to a conclusion on his return from East Africa.
With regard to the investigations now being carried on by Dr. Stephens and Dr. Christophers, the results which these gentlemen are now obtaining are of the highest interest.
They have brought forward evidence which, in the opinion of the Committee, is very strong, that blackwater fever is exclusively connected with malaria, and may
