1. The Minutes of the Thirty-sixth General Meeting* were approved.
The Director presented his half-yearly report (see Annexure). He supple- mented the report orally in certain particulars.
Finance.--As regards the contribution from the Government of Jamaica for the year 1921-22, he explained that the Secretary of State for the Colonies had now written further to the Governor pressing for reconsideration of the Government's decision to limit the contribution for that year to £50.
The reduction in the amount paid for salaries was due to the reduction in the cost of living bonus. The salaries having been fixed on incremental scales, the amount expended on salaries, as apart from the bonus, would necessarily increase each year for some time yet.
The sum of £5,000 shown in Appendix II. as "cash on deposit" was in the hands of the Crown Agents, who utilised it to the best advantage of the Bureau; it was not necessarily "on deposit" in the Bank, but he would ascertain the position in detail.
Export of Parasites. The Dominion of Canada contemplated making arrange ments for obtaining in considerable quantities, from the Continent, parasites of the Larch Sawfly; he was now in communication with the Dominion Entomologist on the subject.
In general, he thought that the parasite work which the Bureau had initiated on a small scale would probably develop. The question of finance would in that event have to be considered, special arrangements of an exceptionally favourable nature having been made to meet the demands hitherto received.
Glossina Investigation. He gave further details of the interesting reports by Mr. C. F. M. Swynnerton, Drs. W: B. Johnson and LI. Lloyd and Dr. W. À. S. Lamborn. As regards Mr. Swynnerton's report, he observed that the " destruction experiment," so often advocated, had in effect been carried out in the game Mwanza District of the Tanganyika Territory, as the conditions in the area where Mr. Swynnerton's investigations were conducted were such as to reproduce almost exactly the conditions which it would have been possible to secure by deliberate destruction of game in a confined area.
Expert examination showed that the species of tsetse-fly responsible for the outbreak of trypanosomiasis in that area was new, and that the trypanosome which was at first thought to be T. gambiense was, in fact, T. rhodesiense. The result of the investigations now being conducted by Dr. H. L. Duke in Uganda would appear in due course in a report, which would amplify Mr. Swynnerton's report in regard to the trypanosomes discovered.
