SIR,
I HAVE the honour to inform you that I caused to be brought before the Advisory Committee for the Tropical Disease Research Fund at their meeting on the 27th of November, the question of the training of officers in research in tropical diseases and in the carrying on of research work in the Colonies.
2. The Committee have advised me that it is desirable, in the interests of research, that reports of the work done in the Government laboratories of those Colonies which have established such institutions should be supplied at intervals of six months. They would propose, if the reports were of sufficient interest, to publish them in whole or in part in the report which they intend to give to Parlia- ment and to circulate to the contributing Colonies every year.
3. I shall, therefore, be glad if you will issue instructions that six-monthly reports be supplied to me of the work done in the Government laboratory in the Colony under your Government,
These reports, which need not be very lengthy

or elaborate, should reach me not later than the middle of May and the middle of November, respectively, and might cover the six months from October-March and April-September, respectively.

B 10, Exchange Buildings, Liverpool, December 11, 1906. COURSE OF Instruction at THE SCHOOL.
WITH reference to paragraph 2 of your letter, dated 5th December,* in which it is stated that the Tropical Diseases Advisory Committee have noted the suggestion of the Lecturer of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, that the course of training should be extended to six months, and have brought the matter under the consideration of the Secretary of State, I am directed to transmit the accompanying draft of a scheme for a reconstruction of the course of the School, which has been provisionally approved of by the Committee of the School.
I enclose copy of letter received from the Professor of Tropical Medicine on the subject, explaining the reasons why this scheme has not been submitted to the Colonial Office previously.
I shall have the honour to forward later the report of the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons upon the new proposals.
Enclosure in No. 122.

DEAR MR. MILNE,

B 10, Exchange Buildings, Liverpool,
December 10, 1906. I SEE by paragraph 2 of the letter, dated the 5th December, from the Colonial Office to you, that the Colonial Office is already considering the matter of our proposed extended course of teaching the matter having been brought to their attention by some remarks of Dr. Stephens in his report to the Colonial Office of the work done by him in connection with the Colonial Office grant to this School. I was not aware that Dr. Stephens had made these remarks in the report referred The question of extending our course has long been under consideration by us, and we have drawn up a complete scheme of such a course. The scheme was pro- visionally accepted at the last meeting of the Committee, and has now been forwarded to the Royal Colleges of Surgeons and Physicians for their remarks. did not intend to lay the matter before the Colonial Office until we had heard from the Royal Colleges; but as they are already considering the subject, I think that a copy of the draft scheme should be sent to them at once, and I now enclose the document.
I think that it would be advisable to forward this covering letter to the Colonial Office.
We
Yours, &c.,
RONALD ROS8, Professor of Tropical Medicine.
