APPENDIX IV.

ESTIMATE OF REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE FOR THE YEAR 1924–1925.

OP

No. 62.

UNION of SOUTH AFRICA.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE to THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL.

(No. 166.) MY LORD,

[Answered by No. 64.]

Downing Street, 5th June, 1924. WITH reference to Prince Arthur of Connaught's despatch No. 87 of the 8th March, 1922, I have the honour to transmit to Your Excellency, to be laid before your Ministers, copies of a memorandumt prepared by the "Glossina Sub- Committee" of the Managing Committee of the Imperial Bureau of Entomology on the tsetse-fly investigations which are now being carried out in Zululand.

It will be seen that in accordance with their usual policy of keeping in touch with any work that is being done in Africa in connexion with the control of tsetse-fly, the Sub-Committee took advantage of the presence in this country of Mr. R. H. Harris, of the Division of Entomology in the Union of South Africa, to discuss with him the investigations on which he has been engaged. A memorandum furnished by Mr. Harris, which the Sub-Committee had before them in preparing their memorandum, forms an annexure to the enclosed print.

3. The Sub-Committee's memorandum was submitted to, and approved by, the Managing Committee at a recent General Meeting, and it is at the request of the Committee that I am forwarding it for the consideration of your Ministers. In so doing, I would invite attention to my predecessor's despatch No. 117 of the 12th May, 1928, in which was transmitted a copy of a despatch§ addressed to the Officers Administering the Governments of the East and West African Dependencies, with a memorandum by the Director of the Bureau on investigations into the bionomics of tsetse-flies during the years 1921 and 1922. As your Ministers will be aware from the publications of the Bureau, with which they are supplied, work of this nature is still being actively carried on in several parts of British Tropical Africa, more especially in Nigeria and the Tanganyika Territory, and I am confident that they share the view held by my predecessors and myself as to the importance of prosecuting as widely as circumstances permit all possible investigations which may lead ultimately to the control of the tsetse-fly.

4. I may add that the Committee in submitting the enclosed memorandum for transmission to your Government, have asked that they may be kept informed of any tsetse-fly work undertaken within the Union, and I should be grateful if your Ministers could arrange for such information to be forwarded from time to time for communication to the Committee.

I have, &c..

J. H. THOMAS.

(No. 746.)

THE SECRETARY OF STATE to THE GOVERNOR.

Downing Street, 7th August, 1924.

I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 359 of the

1st May on the subject of tsetse fly investigation in the Gold Coast.

2. I communicated copies of this despatch, with the enclosed report by Dr. W. A. Young and memorandum by the Director of Medical and Sanitary Services, to the Directors of the Tropical Diseases Bureau and the Imperial Bureau of Entomology for their observations.

The Director of the Tropical Diseases Bureau states that the only observation which he wishes to make concerns the "Statistics with regard to Sleeping Sickness in Gold Coast," which show the yearly average of recorded cases over the seven years,
