IN reference to your despatch of the 30th June, No. 15365/99,* and of the 12th September, No. 23659,† I am directed to inform you that my Board, acting upon the advice of the Medical Council, will receive into the hospitals officers in the Colonial Service whose cases the medical staff consider to be suitable for treatment as tropical cases within the wards of a hospital in which tropical diseases are specially treated, but they desire to express the opinion that officers in receipt of £400 per annum, unless in very exceptional circumstances, which would be duly considered, ought to be required to provide private medical attendance. For other cases the rates to vary, according to circumstances, from one guinea to two guineas per week.

1 am to express the hope that these arrangements will meet with the approval of Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies.
