States that, as it is improbable that a suitable candidate for the post of second Medical Officer in connexion with the ankylostomiasis campaign in Trinidad can, in present circum. stances, be found in England, the Governor has been given the liberty to make a temporary local appoint- ment if he sees an opportunity; and trusts that the Commission will approve of this arrangement.
