THE LONDON SCHOOL OF TROPICAL MEDICINE to COLONIAL OFFICE. (Received 12th May, 1913.)

SIR,

London School of Tropical Medicine (University of London),

Royal Albert Dock, E., 11th May, 1915.

I HAVE the honour to send you herewith the half-yearly report of the Ente mological Department. Colonel Alcock has been called up for active service and is now stationed at the Pavilion Hospital for Indian troops at Brighton, but leave has been granted to him by the War Office to enable him to return to the School for a period of three weeks for the purpose of conducting the School course in Entomology. Dr. J. W. Thomson has been appointed Assistant in the Entomological Department.

The Helminthologist, Dr. R. T. Leiper, who in January submitted a report* on his research in China upon trematode infections in man, has since that date been appointed by the War Office Consultant Parasitologist for the Troops in Egypt, with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, R.A.M.C. He has been requisitioned to carry out investigations in regard to bilharzia disease, and was desired to nominate a staff to accompany him. Accordingly, Dr. J. G. Thomson, the Protozoologist, and Dr. R. P. Cockin, formerly Demonstrator in the School and now Assistant in the Helmintho- logical Department, both with the rank of Lieutenant, R.A.M.C., have been appointed to form part of the expedition of inquiry. They left England on the 27th of January. Consequently there are no reports from the Helminthologist or Protozoologist, but the purport of their investigations will form the subject of a

future report. Dr. Cockin has since returned and has resumed his duties in the School.

As usual at this period, I submit a statement of the School accountst rendered in the form adopted by the Board of Education. The income from the endowments arising from Mr. Chamberlain's fund, amounting to £1,390, is for the first time carried to the credit of the School.

The continuance of the war has seriously affected the attendance at the School, as will be seen from the following comparative table:-

October to December, 1913

January to April, 1914

May to July, 1914

LEEWARD ISLANDS: ANTIGUA.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE to THE ACTING GOVERNOR. (No. 141.) SIR,

Downing Street, 10th May, 1915. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Sir Hesketh Bell's despatch No. 107, of the 25th of March,* transmitting a copy of a report by Dr. W. McDonald, Medical Superintendent of the Charitable Institutions in Antigua, showing the pro- gress which has recently been made in the treatment of yaws in that island.

2. I have read the report with much interest, and I consider that Dr. McDonald and the other Medical Officers who have been dealing with yaws in Antigua are to be congratulated on the satisfactory results which they have obtained.

3. I shall be glad to be informed whether steps are taken in respect of Dr. McDonald's recommendation that provision be made for the inspection of all persons arriving in Antigua from neighbouring islands, and also whether it has been found in Antigua (as reported from other places where yaws is prevalent) that persons suffering from this disease are practically immune from syphilis.

4. Dr. McDonald's report and Sir H. Bell's covering despatch will be laid before the Advisory Committee for the Tropical Diseases Research Fund at their next meeting, and copies are being sent at once to the Tropical Diseases Bureau.

I have, &c.,

L. HARCOURT.

May to July, 1915

The financial position of the School is thereby seriously affected.

The Committee of the School 18 glad to record that the title of Reader in Helmin- thology in the University of London has been conferred on Dr. Leiper.

I am, &c.,

P. MICHELLI,

Secretary.

REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGIST FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL, 1915.

THE active progress of the Entomological Department has been brought almost to a standstill by the war-my Assistant, Dr. F. W. O'Connor, and my trained laboratory attendant, William MacDonald, as was recorded in my last report, having been called up for service in the field early in the autumn, while in January I myself was appointed to do duty at one of the general hospitals for Indian troops at Brighton. Since my departure on the 31st January, Dr. J. W. Thomson has attended to the conservation of the collections and other current duties, and Dr. H. M. Hanschell to the necessary tuitional work.

Occasion has been taken of this term of enforced quiescence and consequent saving in ordinary recurrent expenditure to enlarge and repair the entomological laboratory and to extend and greatly improve its equipment.

In

In the October session I conducted the usual courses of lectures and demonstra- tions in medical entomology and snake-toxicology, as well as a special course general entomology. In the spring session, Dr. Hanschell gave a full course of demonstrations in medical entomology.
