other purposes, and that a monetary contribution was essential. After some dis- cussion it was agreed eventually that we should undertake the years 1922 and 1923 for a sum of £200.
A very satisfactory start has been made with the publications for 1923, the work being done concurrently with the abstracts for our own Review; but our staff cannot possibly cope with the whole of the 1922 work, and it has been arranged to expend £100 of the money to be received in securing outside assistance for this purpose.
Tsetse Investigations.-On the 23rd February, a meeting of the Glossina Sub- Committee was held to consider a report by the Chief Entomologist of Southern Rhodesia on the game destruction measures that have been carried out in that country. The Sub-Committee were of opinion that the methods adopted for estimating the results secured by these measures were unsatisfactory and unlikely to lead to reliable deductions, and further they considered that the optimistic con- clusions based on the report were hardly justifiable. A memorandum was then drawn up, setting forth various criticisms and objections that suggested themselves; this was circulated to all members of the Committee, and after the incorporation of a few alterations that were proposed, it was forwarded to the British South Africa Com- pany by the Colonial Office with a covering letter.
The Sub-Committee also agreed that it would be desirable to make a renewed attempt to stimulate further work on the tsetse problem in Africa, and the Director was requested to prepare a memorandum containing a brief summary of all the work that has been done during the past two years, together with a statement as to the investigations that are now in progress. This has already been done, and the memorandum being forwarded to all the African Governments with a covering despatch from the Secretary of State urging the desirability and importance of inaugurating or extending such investigations whenever financial conditions may render this possible.
Pan-Pacific Scientific Congress.-The British Government having received an invitation to send representatives to this Congress, to be held in Melbourne and Sydney from 13th August to 3rd September, 1923, the Treasury have agreed to supply funds for three men, and the Directors of the Bureaux of Entomology and Mycology are among those selected. This will afford an excellent opportunity of getting into personal touch with the official Australian Entomologists, with whom we have not succeeded in establishing very close contact. would be desirable to take a route that would enable us to see something of the It is thought that it workers in other British possessions, and it is therefore suggested that we should go across Canada, and then via Fiji and New Zealand.
The arrangement of communications is by no means satisfactory for this pur- pose, but by leaving on the 13th June we should be able to have 3 days (apart from actual travelling) in Canada, 2 or 3 days in Fiji, and a fortnight or a little more in New Zealand. Dr. Butler proposes to return across the United States in order to spend a little time in California, but I suggest returning via Suez, as this will give an opportunity of calling at Ceylon.
The Treasury have agreed to pay a lump sum of £250, leaving the delegates free to make their own arrangements.
