(b) A course of advanced study for Veterinary graduates was held during May and June, and was attended by Mr. Clunies Ross, M.A. (from Melbourne University), Mr. J. A. Griffiths, M.R.C.V.S. (from Nyasaland), and Mr. T. W. M. Cameron, M.A., B.Sc., M.R.C.V.S. (from Edinburgh University).
(c) Study Leave. Captain Korke has worked in the Department during the whole period under review, while on study leave from the Bacteriological Department of the Government of India.
Research-In my report for the previous half-
f-year I referred to the publication of research papers issued from this Department as "Collected Papers." During the month of May Part I was published, containing papers Nos. 1-15, the titles of which were given in my previous report. Part II, containing papers Nos. 16-25, was issued in September, with the following titles:-

Bibliographical Work. The location Catalogue of scientific periodicals being compiled in conjunction with Mrs. H. M. Williams, under the auspices of the British Medical Association, is nearing completion.
Collections. Valuable material has been received during the period under review, especially from the Ministry of Pensions. It is a noteworthy fact that from the Laborato 7 connected with the Ministry of Pensions this Department is able to obtain more valuable material for the purposes of the School than it has hitherto succeeded in acquiring from the Hospitals of the Seamen's Hospital Society, which are officially linked with the School. This would appear to be due to a regrettable Jack of co-ordination. Acknowledgment is due to Dr. Manson Bahr, to whom the Department has been indebted for valuable material and encouragement.
The arrangement has been maintained whereby one or other member of the staff of this Department visited the Zoological Gardens to collect parasites from the animals dying there, and this continues to provide a valuable source of material, not only for research, but for demonstration to the classes in the School.
A new link has been established with another valuable source of material, namely, the Metropolitan Cattle Market, thanks to the kindly co-operation of Mr. Haywood, M.R.C.V.S., and Mr. Lloyd, M.R.C.V.S.

Material of interest has been received also through Colonel R. T. Elliott, London; Dr. Louws, Amsterdam; Dr. Bonne, Dutch Guiana; Dr. Buxton, Palestine; Professor Euhrmann, Switzerland; Dr. McNee, University College Medical School.

Official Visits. The Ministry of Agriculture enabled me to visit during September various Veterinary Schools and centres of Parasitology on the Continent. including Alfort, Lyons, Ecole Medicin, Paris, Pasteur Institute, and the Universities of Lyons, Neuchatel, Lausanne and Berpe.
This also provided an opportunity for some investigations into the life history of Dibothriocephalus latus and its relationship with Sparganum mansoni. experiments commenced on the Continent are still in progress."
The
Agricultural Section.-The Ministry of Agriculture maintained and increased their grant to this Department for staff and laboratory expenses, for research into helminthological problems bearing upon agriculture.
The Ministry has also recently attached to this Department Mr. T. W. M. Cameron, M.A., D.Sc., M.R.C.V.S., a holder of one of their Research Scholarships.
Bio-Chemical Work. With the aid of a grant made to me personally research work on certain bio-chemical problems bearing on helminth infections has been commenced.
Distinguished Visitors.-A number of distinguished visitors have visited the Department, including Professors Kobayashi, Miyajima and Dr. Toda, from Japan; Miss Theiler, from Transvaal.
Departures. I have to report the departure of Dr. M. Khalil for Egypt, where he has been offered an important research appointment under the Ministry of Health. Dr. Khalil, as a member of the Egyptian Educational Mission in England, has worked with assiduity and remarkable success in this Department for over two and a-half years..

REPORT OF PROTOZOOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED
31ST OCTOBER, 1922. Seamen's Hospital Society,
London School of Tropical Medicine.
DR.-J. G. Thomson left this country on 6th January on an expedition to Rhodesia under the auspices of the British South Africa Company and the London School of Tropical Medicine to inquire into the causation of blackwater fever. He was accompanied by William Cooper, the senior laboratory assistant of the depart- ment. The expedition arrived back in this country on 26th August, 1922. Much valuable protozoological material was collected and also a considerable amount of data concerning the incidence of malaria-and blackwater fever. The findings will be published in due course, and are, at present, in the course of preparation. In Rhodesia Dr. Thomson gave two lectures: the first was to the Mezoe Farmers' Association and the second to the mining community at Shamva. The reports of these two lectures were published in the Rhodesian Herald of 22nd June and 27th July respectively.
In Dr. Thomson's absence the course in Protozoology, part of the three months curriculum of the School, was given by Dr. Andrew Robertson, Assistant Director of Protozoology. In the spring term there were sixty-four students, in the summer sixty-three, and in autumn, when the class was taught by Dr. T. Thomson, fifty-one. Dr. Thomson was appointed examiner in Protozoology as the special subject for the degree of B.Sc. Hons in Zoology for the academic year by the University of London. Two candidates for this examination received tuition in this department.
In spring and summer Dr. Kirk and Dr. Hicks did research work. Miss Marjorie J. Triffitt, B.Sc. Hons. (Zoology), was awarded a maintenance crant by the Scientific and Industrial Research Department of the Privy Council. to enable her to receive instruction in the methods of protozoological research. She left to take up the position of Demonstrator and Assistant Lecturer in Biology at
