30. Reports are to be forwarded, as soon as possible after the end of each month, to the Medical Officer-in-Charge of the Extended Sleeping Sickness Investi- gations, Entebbe.

These reports should describe the movements of the medical officer during the month and the observations and investigations made. They should also show the whereabouts of the medical officer at the time of writing and indicate the probable course of his movements during the ensuing month, and they should include a state- ment of cash account.

In reporting their investigations medical officers should follow in substance the exact order of the paragraphs in these instructions, using the corresponding numbers. But, although it is intended that the lines and methods of investigation indicated in them should be uniformly followed, there is no intention to limit in any way the field of research. It is hoped, on the other hand, that the accumulation of fresh facts and observations may serve to direct and guide the course of future enquiry and may lead to new and improved methods.

Any new fact or discovery bearing on the investigation of sleeping sickness should be reported immediately and separately.

31. Care will be taken that each medical officer shall receive the credit due for

his own observations and discoveries but the publication of any matter directly or indirectly connected with the investigations cannot be permitted without previous submission of it to the Medical Officer-in-Charge for his approval.

NOTE. Further instructions with regard to paragraph 26 will be issued as soon as the details are arranged.
