MINUTES OF THE FOURTH MEETING OF THE "SELECTION SUB- COMMITTEE" OF THE IMPERIAL BUREAU OF ENTOMOLOGY.

The fourth meeting of the "Selection Sub-Committee" was held at the Colonial Office at 11.40 a.m. on Thursday, 1st May, 1913.

PRESENT:

Dr. SHIPLEY. Professor POULTON. Mr. MARSHALL.

Mr. PARKINSON.

1. The recommendations provisionally made by the Sub-Committee at the third meeting were further considered. It was decided to select Mr. M. E. MacGregor and Mr. A. R. Ritchie for Carnegie scholarships on the usual terms, but to defer consideration of Mr. E. Speyer for twelve months, as it had been ascertained in the meantime that he would not be able at present to make use of a scholarship.

2. Mr. Marshall stated that he estimated that the Committee had at their disposal the sum of £1,450 for expenditure on Carnegie scholars during the current year. Allowing £350 for Mr. MacGregor, £350 for Mr. Ritchie, and £175 for one of the Trinidad Entomologists (if the Committee's offer to that Colony should be definitely accepted), there would still be available a sum of £575. He recommended that £175 should be allocated to Mr. Tothill, Assistant to Dr. Gordon Hewitt in Canada, who wished to spend six months working at Cornell University. The Sub- Committee concurred in this proposal.

3. Other candidates brought to the notice of the Sub-Committee were Mr. A. Mason (South-Eastern Agricultural College, Wye) and Mr. D. A. Gotch (Cambridge University). It was decided to grant Mr. Mason a scholarship for one year to enable him to carry out field work at suitable stations in the United States.
