Asks that the French, Japanese, and Netherlands Governments may be reminded of their promises to furnish the Imperial Bureau of Entomology with information as to the distribu- tion of mosquitoes, and, in particu. lar, of Stegomyia, in their posses- sions in the Pacific and the Far East, and may be asked to take such action in the matter as is possible.

Recommends the suggestion of the Managing Committee of the Imperial Bureau of Entomology that the various Governments should renew the grants made for three years from 1912 for a further period of three years (1916-1918).
