No. 485, of the 16th December, 1914,* on the subject of experiments in the destruction of wild animals in tsetse-fly areas of Africa, I have the honour to inform you that the Principal Medical Officer has drawn my attention to the present lack of any avail- able medical staff for this purpose, owing to the large number of his departmental officers who are employed on active service, and to the fact that some of the most important localities for research lie on or near the German frontier.
To Secretary of State, No, 15 of 13th

game Dr. Hodges adds that he is of the opinion that the destruction of Uganda is not an urgent measure in its relation to human trypanosomiasis, and I would recommend therefore that the systematic game destruction suggested in the Report of the Interdepartmental Committee should be postponed in this Protec- torate until after the duration of the war.

SIR,
(Received 7th April, 1915.)
British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Road,
London, S.W., 7th April, 1915.
I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of 31st March (No. 10817/15),|| transmitting a copy of a despatch§ from the Governor of the Uganda Protectorate, with reference to the Report of the Interdepartmental Committee on Sleeping Sickness.
2. The statements in the despatch do not appear to call for special comment, except that, with regard to paragraph 2 (c), it would be a matter of interest to learn the details of the clearing experiment referred to, concerning which this Bureau has no record, and negative evidence of this kind is often as important as positive
results.
