St. John's College, Cambridge, October 27, 1903. Next, may L as Secretary of the Special Board for Medicine, ask you to look at the enclosed draft,* which was submitted in outline to your predecessor and met with his approval. It will be submitted next month to the Senate for adoption, and it is not unlikely that we shall be asked whether the new Secretary of State takes the same view as Mr. Chamberlain regarding the desirability of the proposed step in the interest of our Colonial possessions.
If after consulting your advisers you are able to say that you also approve, I am sure that the statement will give much satisfaction in the University, and materially facilitate the establishment of the necessary machinery.
I am, &c.,

Mr. Lyttelton has addressed a despatch* to the Governor of Mauritius on the subject, a copy of which is enclosed, recommending the proposal.

(No. 379.)
SIR,
Downing Street, October 30, 1903. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Sir F. A. Swettenham's despatch, No. 492, of the 12th of September,† forwarding, under cover of a letter from the Resident-General, a copy of a memorandum by Dr. C. W. Daniels on the education of medical officers in the treatment and prevention of tropical diseases.
2. I should be glad if you would cause to be conveyed to Dr. Daniels an ex- pression of my appreciation of the trouble he has taken in preparing this interesting report, which will be fully considered.

MR. LYTTELTON to GOVERNOR SIR C. BRUCE. [Answered December 16, 1903 (telegram): 43149: not printed.]
(No. 251.) SIR,
Downing Street, October 30, 1903. WITH reference to my predecessor's despatch, No. 192, of the 8th of Septem- ber, I have the honour to transmit to you a copy of a letter from Sir P. Manson, stating that he believes that, if asked, the London School of Tropical Medicine would be willing to send out an expert to assist the local staff in their investigations on anti- malarial measures in Mauritius provided his laboratory and traveling expenses were found by the Colony.
2. Such a proposal appears to me to be a very liberal one, and likely to prove of advantage to the Colony, and I trust that the Council of Government will agree to give the guarantee required. I gather that it is doubtful whether the money at the disposal of the School would suffice for more than the payment of the salary of the expert, and that the Colony would probably be expected to find quarters for him as well as to provide for his laboratory expenses, and the cost of his journey to and from the Colony, and his expenses incurred in travelling therein.

COLONIAL OFFICE to DR. MACALISTER, CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY (SPECIAL BOARD FOR MEDICINE).
SIR,
Downing Street, November 4, 1903. I AM directed by Mr. Secretary Lyttelton to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 27th of October, enclosing the draft report of the Special Board for Medicine of Cambridge University, upon the proposal to establish in the University an Examination and Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
2. Mr. Lyttelton entirely concurs in the view taken by his predecessor that the proposed step is desirable in the interest of the British Colonies, and trusts that it will meet with the approval of the Senate of the University.

I AM directed by Mr. Secretary Lyttelton to acknowledge the receipt of letter of the 23rd of October,‡ stating that in your opinion the London School of Tropical Medicine would be willing to send out an expert to Mauritius to assist the local medical staff in investigating Malaria.
SIR,

SIR P. MANSON to COLONIAL OFFICE.
(Received November 6, 1903.)
21, Queen Anne Street, Cavendish Square, November 5, 1903.
IN reference to correspondence and papers (37562/1903), enclosed in your letter of 30th ultimo,§ in connection with the Kwala Lumpor Institute for Medical Research, I consider that the suggestion to have one permanent Assistant in con- nection with the Institute an excellent one.
Continuity in the work and methods of the Institute is exceedingly desirable, and can only be obtained by some such arrangement.
I would suggest that, as it is extremely difficult to find a man with the qualifica- tions necessary for original research, it would be well, in the first instance, so as to secure some latitude in selection, not to appoint a man definitely from the outset to this post, but to give a trial, perhaps, to several men either already in the service or who might be sent out from England.
