I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Circular despatch of the 20th of December last, on the subject of the prevention of mosquito-borne diseases in the tropical Colonies and Protectorates, and, with reference to paragraph 3 thereof, to transmit herewith a return which has been prepared by the Senior Medical Officer in this Protectorate.

SIR,
No. 83.
I am, &c.,
C. P. LUCAS.
COLONIAL OFFICE to THE RHODES TRUST.
Downing Street, 9 March, 1911.
WITH reference to your letter of the 10th March, 1905,† I am directed by Mr. Secretary Harcourt to request that you will be so good as to invite the attention of the Rhodes Trustees to the question of continuing for a further period of five years the grant of £200 a year which was made from the funds at their disposal towards the establishment of a school of tropical medicine.
2. The annual reports of the Advisory Committee of the Tropical Diseases Research Fund, by which the grant made by the Rhodes Trustees is administered, have been sent to you year by year, and these reports show fully the nature of the very valuable work which is being carried on by the Schools of Tropical Medicine in London and Liverpool and by the Professor of Protozoology in the University of London and by the University of Cambridge with the assistance of the grant from those funds.
3. The contributions which, in the first instance, were given by the Colonial Governments, by His Majesty's Government, and the Government of India for a period of five years only have all been renewed for a similar period, and His Majesty's Government have increased their grant of £500 to £1,000 a year in recogni- tion of the great value to the Empire of the work which is being carried on.
4. In these circumstances it is Mr. Harcourt's earnest hope that the trustees will find it possible in any case to continue the grant of £200 a year for five years. The sum in question would, as in the case of the former grant, as explained in the letter from this Office of the 27th of March, 1905,‡ be applied towards the salary of the Professor of Protozoology in the University of London.
5. But Mr. Harcourt would further express a hope that the Trustees may be so good as to increase their help to a work which has amply earned any assistance within reason that can be given to it, and the very success of which has only opened wider fields of beneficent activity.
6. In dealing with this matter there is one consideration which, in Mr. Har court's opinion, cannot fail to carry great weight with the Trustees.
