Tropical Sanitation), appointed by the War Office as Consulting Physician on Tropical Diseases at the Dardanelles; Lieutenant Warrington Yorke (Walter Myers Professor of Parasitology), at Malta; Major W. T. Prout, C.M.G. (Lecturer on Tropical Sanitation), at Cairo; and Lieutenant B. Blacklock (Director of the Research Laboratory), in Gallipoli. In addition, Professor Robert Newstead, F.R.S. (accompanied by his laboratory assistant), has been conducting a campaign against flies in the war zone in France during the past six months.
The new laboratory of the School, in Pembroke Place, Liverpool, was finished at the end of July last, but has been lent to the War Office for use as a temporary military hospital. The new "Sir Alfred Jones" tropical ward at the Royal Infirmary has also been lent to the War Office, provided the School does not require the beds for cases of tropical disease.
The work of the School is being carried on, as far as possible, in the same manner as heretofore, and it is hoped that the Tropical Diseases Research Committee will again make a grant of £1,200 to the School for 1916.
The members of the staff abroad are, I understand, being employed in research work, and it is trusted that the experience they are gaining will add considerably to the knowledge of tropical medicine.
I am, &c.,
A. H. MILNE,
Secretary.
