3. The accounts of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and of the London School of Tropical Medicine were passed. It was, however, pointed out that the term "Government Grant" in the Liverpool account should be altered and that a clear distinction should be made between the £500 ordinary grant and the £250 extraordinary grant.
4. It was agreed that the report of the London School was in every respect satisfactory, and that the report should be inserted as it stands in the Board's Annual Report.
5. It was agreed that the report of the Liverpool School should be amended to contain some record of the work done by the aid of the funds supplied by the Board so that it should, when read with the accounts, show clearly what use was made of the grant. Sir R. Moor offered to explain the exact nature of the Board's requirements to the Liverpool authorities, and it was decided to write to the School stating what was desired, leaving details to be settled by Sir R. Moor.
Sir P. Manson raised the question whether copies of the reports referred to by the Liverpool School should not be sent to the contributing Colonies. Sir R. Moor thought it certain that this was already done by the School. Sir T. Barlow concurred with Sir P. Manson in considering it desirable that the whole information should be available for any officer who cared to make use of it. Mr. Holderness pro- posed, and the proposal was accepted, to write to the School and enquire whether they at present sent copies to the Colonies, and to say that their report would be embodied in the general report issued by the Board, and that when that report was ready the Board would be glad to receive copies of all the papers referred to for com- It was agreed not to munication to the Colonies unless they had already been sent. reprint such papers in the Annual Report, since, as Mr. Lucas pointed out, it would otherwise be necessary to incorporate any reports on mosquito-borne diseases received from the Colonies, and perhaps Professor Boyce's report on yellow fever in British Honduras, and the Royal Society's publications.
6. It was agreed to print the Royal Society's report in the Annual Report. 7. Note was taken of the correspondence with the University of London. In response to Mr. Lucas the scientific members of the Board expressed the view that the result of the work already done was the foundation on a secure basis of the study of tropical diseases. Sir R. Moor stated that from the layman's point of view the most important results were, first, the giving of confidence to officers and others in West Africa, and second, the carrying out of important sanitary and other
works.

COLONIAL OFFICE to THE LIVERPOOL SCHOOL OF TROPICAL
MEDICINE.
[Answered by No. 102.]
Downing Street, July 2, 1906.
I AM directed by the Earl of Elgin to inform you that the Advisory Board of the Tropical Diseases Research Fund considered at their meeting on the 27th of June the account for the year 1905, which was enclosed in your letter of the 13th of January, and the report on the work of the School for the period from November, 1905, to April, 1906, which was enclosed in your letter of the 9th of June.†
2.
The Board would be glad if the statement of account could be altered in the following respects: (1) The term "Government Grant" should be altered to Grant from the Tropical Disease Research Fund," and (2) The grant should be divided into two portions, the first being the sum of £500, which was the ordinary grant, and the second the extraordinary sum of £250 granted for the purchase of equipment.
3. The Board would also be glad if the report could be made more complete by the addition of a short account showing some details of the nature of the work done by the help of the grant made by the Board. It is not desired that any part of the report should be omitted, as the Board consider that the contributors to the fund will be interested in the general work of the School, but it is considered that the contributors would be anxious to learn the nature of the results obtained in the departments of study to which their assistance is more directly given.
4. Lord Elgin is anxious not to impose any unnecessary labour on the School, and he has gladly accepted the offer of Sir R. Moor, one of the Members of the Board, to take the opportunity of an early visit to Liverpool to explain the exact nature of the wishes of the Board.
5. I am to enclose prints of the account and of the report, which may be of service in making the desired alterations.

I am, &c.,
C. P. LUCAS.
