I HAVE the honour to transmit to you, with reference to previous correspond- ence the accompanying copy of a letter from the Royal Society relating to the Mediterranean Fever Inquiry, and also a copy of Dr. Johnstone's Report, to which reference is made in that letter.
2. It appears from Dr. Johnstone's report that some reform of the system of notifying diseases in Malta is urgently required, and I request that you will favour me with your observations upon the Royal Society's suggestion that an English Medical Officer of Health with a staff of six trained Sanitary Inspectors should be sent to the Colony in order to put this branch of the public service on a proper basis.
I have, &c.,
ALFRED LYTTELTON.
