SIERRA LEONE.

GOVERNOR PROBYN to THE EARL OF ELGIN.

(Received July 6, 1908.)

(No. 175.) MY LORD,

Government House, Freetown, Sierra Leone, June 19, 1906. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your Lordship's circular despatch of the 3rd of May* [? 23rd April] with respect to the possible attendance of picked members of the medical staff at courses which will enable them to become acquainted with the latest phases of modern scientific research at the best known

centres.

2. The Medical Staff in this Colony is barely sufficient for the discharge of the ordinary professional duties which have to be performed; the study of the later phases of modern scientific research could not be made with any material result during the leave of absence of a medical officer, and, consequently, the valuable pro- posal made in paragraph 6 of Your Lordship's despatch under acknowledgment cannot be acted upon at present.

3. I have the honour to enquire whether the decision conveyed in Mr. Lyttelton's despatch, No. 326, of the 16th of November, 1905,† might not be reconsidered; the proposal made by me in my despatch, No. 210, of the 8th of Mayt was an effort in the direction of starting bacteriological and research work, and the cost (£100 per annum) is, I think, within the financial powers of the Colony.

I have, &c.,

L. PROBYN,

Governor.

GENTLEMEN,

I AM directed by the Earl of Elgin to inform you that he understands that the Comptroller and Auditor-General considers it desirable that a final certificate should be given in respect of the account first opened in 1898 under instructions contained in the Colonial Office letter of the 9th of November, 1898,§ in respect of the contributions of the Imperial Government and various Colonial Governments for the purpose of research into malarial fever.

2. Lord Elgin would, therefore, be glad if you would prepare, for submission to the Audit Office, a summary of the receipts and expenditure of that account up to the date on which it was closed and the balance transferred to the Tropical Disease Research Fund. The expenditure should be classed under the two heads Contributions to the Tropical Schools of Medicine" and Contributions in aid of research expeditions," and the receipts according to the sources whence they were derived. As you have already supplied the Audit Office with vouchers in support of your periodical accounts, it will only be necessary for you to state the totals involved.

3. Lord Elgin will also be glad if at the end of 1906 a similar account can be made of the receipts and expenditure of the Tropical Disease Research Fund up to the 31st December, 1906, and submitted to the Audit Office, and if similar accounts can be rendered annually in future, in order that certificates may be giver in respect of them.

I am, &c.,

R. L. ANTROBUS.

SIR,

OFFICE.

(Received July 31, 1906.)

B 10, Exchange Buildings, Liverpool, July 25, 1906. WITH further reference to my letters of the 13th January last and 9th June,* I have the honour to submit an amended balance sheet duly audited, showing in greater detail the manner in which the grant from the Tropical Disease Research Fund to the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine has been expended in the year ending April, 1906.

In accordance with the suggestion made in your letter of 2nd July, I bave asked for special reports from the members of the staff of the School responsible for the expenditure of the grant in question, and have the honour to enclose their reports, viz., report by

(1) Dr. J. W. W. Stephens, Walter Myers Lecturer in Tropical Medicine; (2) Mr. R. Newstead, Lecturer in Economic Entomology and Parasitology;

and

(3) Dr. J. L. Todd, Director of the Tropical Research Laboratories at

Runcorn.

I am respectfully to ask that these three reports may be taken in conjunction with my report of June the 9th; § or, if preferred, be substituted therefor.

I have, &c.,

A. H. MILNE.
