might be materially reduced by obtaining the case through the Stationery Office. After some discussion it was decided that a case of the description shown was unnecessary, especially in view of the Bureau's financial position. (2) The speci- men map exhibited to the Committee was paper without a canvas backing. If canvas backed, Dr. Bagshawe estimated the cost at 1s. 6d. each, or 1s. 2d. if purchased by the hundred.

Sir Rubert Boyce pointed out that the Committee ought on no account to diminish its distribution list at this stage. Having regard, therefore, to the number required and the financial position, it was decided on Mr. Read's suggestion, that the publication should take the form of a paper booklet, i.e., to print the necessary descriptive matter as a pamphlet and attach the map (in paper) to the back-cover, but that a note should be made on each map saying that on application to the Sleeping Sickness Bureau linen-backed copies could be obtained for 1s. 6d. and that to meet any such applications, one hundred out of the 1,500 authorised should be produced with linen backs.

3. Dr. Bagshawe brought forward the question of subscriptions for the Bulletin. He stated that 157 private persons in this country, 89 on the Continent, and 91 societies, libraries, &c. now received the Bulletin free. Sir Rubert Boyce was supported by Dr. Rose Bradford in opposing a subscription as being derogatory to a quasi-Government publication, and at the same time an unwise step, as likely to decrease the popularity of the Bulletin.

A suggestion that possibly advertisements might be admitted was not favour- ably received in any quarter.

In reply to a question by Dr. Rose Bradford, Dr. Bagshawe stated that the deficit (probably £20) with which the Committee would be faced at the end of the financial year, was due entirely to the unexpectedly heavy cost of publishing the Bibliography. In these circumstances, it was unanimously agreed that the difficulty should be met not by asking for a subscription for the Bulletin, but by the simple expedient of postponing to the next financial year-with the printer's consent-payment for the Bibliography, in so far as payment this year would involve expenditure in excess of the Committee's funds for 1909-10.

Mr. Read was called away from the meeting during the discussion on the last point.
