ground for complaining that the Institute is chiefly made use of for the local purposes of the Government of Southern Nigeria. I therefore commend the views of the scientific members of the Advisory Committee of the Tropical Diseases Research Fund to your careful consideration. If such work as is local and temporary in character can be separated off from research, and assigned to an officer of the medical service of Southern Nigeria, it appears to me that it may be found possible to dispense, at any rate for a time, with the necessity for appoint- ing a second assistant to Dr. Graham; an appointment to which I may say [that] the other West African Administrations have agreed to contribute.
Such a distinction and separation of work can no doubt easily be made by Dr. Graham, who, as the director of the research which is being and is to be carried out at the Institute, will be in a position to say with what information, pathological and biological specimens, &c., he requires to be furnished for research purposes. On the other hand, you may think it better that the purely clinical and medico-legal work required for the purposes of your Administration should be carried out in a separate laboratory, under the direction of the Principal Medical Officer.
I have, &c.,
L. HARCOURT.
