This is another useful report by Dr. Nicholls. He is to be commended on the interest he is taking in original research to combat disease.

I would request that the report* be printed in England, and the proof sent to Dr. Nicholls for revision.

J. HAYES SADLER,

SIR,

(Saint Lucia. No. 84.)

Governor.

Government House, St. Lucia, 12th May, 1911. WITH reference to the Secretary of State's despatch, No. 104, of the 30th December, 1909,† I have the honour to forward the report* of Dr. Lucius Nicholls, Medical Officer and Bacteriologist of this Colony, on laboratory and research work for the six months ended the 31st March last.

2. Dr. Nicholls's report contains drawings which cannot be reproduced here, and for this reason and in order to avoid delay in its publication, I would propose that, as in the case of the similar report forwarded in my despatch, No. 95, of the 2nd December last,‡ it should be printed in England and copies sent out to St. Lucia in due course.

His Excellency

I have, &c.,

EDWARD J. Cameron,

Administrator

Lieutenant-Colonel Sir James Hayes Sadler, K.C.M.G., C.B.,

MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF A SUB-COMMITTEE OF THE TROPICAL DISEASES RESEARCH FUND, HELD AT THE COLONIAL OFFICE ON THE 25TH OF JULY, 1911, AT 4.30 P.M.

PRESENT:

Mr. STRACHEY (in the Chair).

Sir DAVID BRUCE.

Sir PATRICK MANSON.

Mr. FIDDIAN (attended at Mr. Strachey's request). Mr. KEITH (Secretary).

Sir Patrick Manson recommended Dr. Coghill as being probably the best of the candidates for the post of Assistant in the Laboratory at Lagos. He explained that Dr. Coghill had been engaged since August, 1909, in laboratory work in connection with the London School of Tropical Medicine, and that he was therefore fully acquainted with the nature of the work to be done at Lagos. While not a man of striking ability, he would perform in an adequate manner the duties required of him; and although he had had an attack of blackwater fever on his first leave of absence, it had been due to imprudence, and he would no doubt be more careful in future of his health. Since working at the School he had enjoyed excellent health and he was physically strong.

Sir David Bruce said that on the papers before him Dr. Coghill and Dr. Scott McFie were the two best of the candidates, but he did not know either of these officers and he was ready to accept Sir Patrick Manson's recommendation, in which Mr. Strachey and Mr. Fiddian concurred.
