The Governor
Refers to No. 55; considers that it affords proof that the natives generally could not be relied upon to exterminate game, but thinks that the experiment should be allowed to continue as it will placate the Missionary Societies and convince the public generally that measures advocated by persons the imperfectly acquainted with difficulties of the subject are not always practicable.

The Acting Governor
States that Major Pearce has put forward the idea of experimentally tasting the connexion between game and the prevalence of taetse fly by fencing in an area of 100 square miles; states that it is impossible for the Protectorate to finance the scheme and suggests that money might be obtained from private sources; Sir D. Bruce strongly supports the idea..
Transmits a despatch from His Majesty's Ambassador at Berlin enclosing trans- lation of a Note from the German Government giving their views on the raising of the limit of the weight of tusks sold in German East Africa and the Cameroons.
States that he has asked the Governor for the use of a strip of land twenty miles long by ten broad, which he proposes to fence off with a view to a preliminary experiment as to the possibility of exterminating the fly which carries the human trypanosome: aska for his support to the scheme.
Memorandum regarding a proposed experiment for testing the relation between big game and sleeping sickness.
Informs him, in reply in No. 58, that the Secretary of State is prepared to take the matter up with the Society for the Preservation of the Fauna of the Empire, but asks what area it is proposed to fence and for as reliable an estimate of the cost as is possible.
Nyasa (Rec. June 17.) States, in reply to No. 62, that he
