Quick Laboratory, New Museums, Cambridge,

11th June, 1913.

DEAR SIR,

I WRITE to ask if it would be possible for the Advisory Committee of the Tropical Diseases Research Fund to allow me an additional grant of £100 per annum towards the payment of a helminthologist to work in the Quick Laboratory. We receive a considerable number of specimens sent to us from the tropics for identifica- tion, and we have gradually accumulated a large collection of parasitic worms. I have working at present in my laboratory Dr. Annie Porter, who is taking up helminthological research, and who, it appears to me, would be an eminently suitable person to encourage. She has been engaged in research now for a number of years without receiving any remuneration, and I feel very strongly that something should be done for her as well as for helminthology in Cambridge, where there is no provision made by the University for this important subject. If we could add a helmintho- logist to the staff of the Quick Laboratory, we should have all the branches of

para- sitology represented, and I consider it essential that this should be the case.

I shall be very much obliged to you if you will kindly bring this matter to the notice of the Advisory Committee.

AGENDA AND MINUTES OF AN EXTRAORDINARY MEETING OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR THE TROPICAL DISEASES RESEARCH FUND, HELD AT THE COLONIAL OFFICE, AT 4.30 P.M., ON THE 25TH OF JULY, 1913.

AGENDA.

(1) To approve the minutes* of the last meeting.

(2) To consider a request† of Professor Nuttall for an additional grant.

(3) To consider a letter from Professor Nuttall calling attention to certain

defects in the last report of the Advisory Committee.

(4) To receive a report on the research work done in the Federated Malay

States.

(5) To consider the mode of employing the balance of the Tropical Diseases Research Fund. (After making the payments sanctioned for the year 1913, there will be a net balance in the Tropical Diseases Research Fund of about £1,200, assuming that all the payments which have been promised are duly made).

Believe me, &c.,

GEO. H. F. NUTTALL.

SIR,

No. 87.

COLONIAL OFFICE to PROFESSOR G. H. F. NUTTALL.

Downing Street, 16 June, 1913.
