research studentship in medical entomology in Cambridge, with regard to which you did me the favour of writing on the 7th ultimo,* (stating that the application would receive due consideration at the hands of the Advisory Committee of the Tropical Diseases Research Fund), I beg to add the following by way of supplement to my letter addressed to Sir Patrick Manson and submitted by him to the Committee.
In an earlier letter to Sir Patrick Manson I stated that we have an excellent opportunity at present of securing a suitable man for the proposed studentship, in the person of Mr. A. D. Immas, M.Sc. (Christ's College), who is an advanced student in Cambridge, and who proposes to devote special attention to medical entomology. He has recently published an important paper on botflies, and I have a paper of his in press for the Journal of Hygiene. The latter paper refers to his studies on the larval and pupal stages of Anopheles maculipennis, and represents first class original work constituting, as it does, the first good scientific contribution to our knowledge of the structure of mosquito larvæ. Mr. Imms is prepared to devote his whole time to research, and has my laboratory at his disposal. As stated in my letter to Sir Patrick Manson, it would greatly further the work we are doing in Cambridge if we could secure the aid of such a man as Mr. Imms.
research.
.
I may add that I have recently arranged a laboratory for investigations in protozoology and on blood-sucking insects, ticks, &c., and that several gentlemen who are working with me will be only too pleased to help workers from the tropics who desire to acquire special knowledge in the subjects on which we are conducting Moreover, apart from the facilities offered for scientific work in Cambridge, and to which I already referred in my letter of application, I may state that men like to come here to work also for the reason that it is a pleasant place of residence during their period of leave. Moreover, facilities exist for the study of experimental diseases due to protozoa, &c., in animals, owing to the fact that we are keeping these diseases going by inoculation from animal to animal for the purpose of studying the structure and biology of the living parasites. (Piroplas- mosis, and different forms of trypanosomiasis and Spirochaetosis, &c.).
I shall be much obliged to you if you will kindly bring this letter to the notice of the Committee in May in conjunction with the lettert I addressed to Sir Patrick Manson which has been referred to the Committee.

all of the institutions concerned be given to understand which of the three following courses should be adopted:-
account
1. Should the full article descriptive of the entire piece of work be sent to the Advisory Committee for publication in its Report? (Of course, the
full article must always be sent to the Committee for its information, but not necessarily for publication).
2. Should only an abstract of the work be sent for publication? or
3. Should only the title of the work, if published elsewhere, be sent?

I understand from your letter that the Committee will probably wish the second of these courses to be adopted; that is to say, it will require, as you say,
a clear of the work, "intelligible to the ordinary reader," but that it will not wish to publish the full article in its Report (or, supposing such article has already been published elsewhere, to republish it); nor will it be content merely with the title of the full article. Unless, therefore, I hear from you to the contrary, I shall instruct our workers to this effect.

SIR,
REFERRING to my letter of 11th December last,* I am directed by the Com- mittee of the School to inform you that an answer has been received from the Royal College of Surgeons, and the Royal College of Physicians, who were asked to report on the proposals for a revised course of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, a copy of which was forwarded to you in the letter referred to. I enclose copy of the reply that has been received from both of the Royal Colleges named, expressing their approval of the scheme.
I am respectfully to ask whether the School may now be favoured with the views of His Majesty's Government as to the proposals, especially as far as they affect the training of medical men in the service of the Colonial Office.

DEAR MR. LUCAS,
PROFESSOR ROSS to MR. C. P. LUCAS.
(Received March 22, 1907.)
Johnston Tropical Laboratory, University of Liverpool,
March 19, 1907. MANY thanks for your lettert enclosing copies of despatches on malaria. I understand that these are not for publication, but have read them with great interest. Good work in this line is evidently being done in places, and we shall all look forward to the complete publication.
I fear that I did not make myself clear on the matter of the Report of the Advisory Committee of the Research Fund. The last thing we want is for the Committee to lay down any rule as to the amount of space to be allotted to each institution or worker. We merely wanted some general rule, applicable to all the institutions and workers equally, regulating the degree of detail which is to be put into the reports of each piece of work done. For example, in the last Report of the Advisory Committee, some of the work done by the Royal Society and this School is indicated only by mention of the title of the articles in which it is fully described; while on the other hand the two pieces of work performed by the London School are described in considerable detail, the descriptions being often repeated, while on pages 40 and 41 an entire article regarding Dr. Leiper's researches is reprinted from the British Medical Journal. This could be avoided in the future if
