To this we replied by cable as follows:—
Commission will send man and stand expenses of demonstration in
Ceylon."
We have to-day received from Dr. Heiser the following cable :-
"Government accepts. Have man ready to sail on my arrival late in
July."
4. It is understood that any action on our part is subject to approval by the Colonial Office. I take it for granted that the Government of Ceylon will com- municate directly with you concerning the matter, but I am writing you in order to save time. If this proposition should meet with the approval of the Colonial Office we should expect to send a man to Ceylon to carry out a demonstration, accord- ing to the plan which I submitted at the time of my visit last year. I think you have a copy of this plan, but I am enclosing an additional copy* for your information.
Mr. H. R. Cowell,
Colonial Office.

2. Dr. Jacocks arrived in St. Vincent on the 18th April, and has been given a letter of appointment by me under the powers conferred by Section 2 of the Ankylos tomiasis Officer Ordinance, 1915, forwarded in my despatch No. 56, of 13th May,
1915.*
3. The campaign has started on active lines, and I enclose a copy of the record of work done during the first week.
4. I enclose also a copy of the budget for the quarter 1st April to 30th June, which has been agreed upon and is being acted upon after careful consultation between Dr. Durrant, Dr. Jacocks, and myself. A copy of this budget has been for- warded to the International Health Commission, as also of the record of the work performed It is probable that the same budget will be adopted for the quarter 1st July to 30th September. I have informed the Commission that I am in communica- tion with Your Excellency regarding Dr. Durrant's remuneration, for which no pro- vision is made until the matter is settled.
5. The Government Sanitary Department is giving all assistance possible in promoting the progress of the campaign.
