1. Approved Laboratory Technic, Kolmer and Boerner, 1931. 2. Guide To Human Parasitology, Blacklock and Southwell, 1931.
3. Tumours Of The Breast, Cheatle and Cutler, 1931,
4. Surgical Pathology Of The Female Generative Organs, A. E. Hertzler, 1932.
5. A System of Bacteriology, Vol. 9, Medical Research Council, 1931.
6. Report of the Laboratory Conference on the Serodiagnosis of Syphilis, League of Nations Health Organization Committee, 1932.
7. Report of the Permanent Commission on Biological Standardization, League of Nations Health Organization Committee, 1932.
8. Individuality of the Blood In Biology and In Clinical and Forensic Medicine, Leone Lattes, 1932.

(5) Research.-It is a melancholy fact that research is practically impossible under the conditions in which work is carried on at the Institute. The volume of routine work is so large in relation to the staff which has to handle it that there is little possibility of devoting the necessary thought and time to any problems except such as can be actually carried out along with routine work of a closely associated nature. Also the absence of any clinical material, already referred to, severely limits the scope of such work. During the year the writer's attention has been largely devoted to attempts to improve the routine methods in use in the Institute and bring them into line with modern practice. Work of this nature is not of a kind that lends itself to record in an annual report and therefore cannot be detailed. Nevertheless, a good deal has been done in this way. An investigation of the methods in use for estimating the concentration of blood in solutions of blood stains was carried out and a useful method was devised for the purpose which has been incorporated into routine practice. A report of the method is in the press at the moment.
During the small epidemic of cerebrospinal meningitis which visited the Colony during the winter and spring, a quantitative estimation of the total protein present in the spinal fluids of patients suffering from the disease was made with the hope of later correlating the information gained with other clinical facts. The method used was that of McNaught (Jr. lab. & Clin. Med.
