(1) Administrative. There is nothing of interest to record under this heading for the period under review.
(2) Buildings and Equipment.-(a) No additions or alterations to the Laboratory buildings were carried out.
(b) No additions to the permanent equipment were made during the year.
(3) Library. The following books were added to the library:-

Bacteriology of Typhoid, Salmonella, and Dysentery Infection and Carrier States, L. C. Havens, 1936. 5. How to Stain the Nervous System, J. Anderson, 1929.(4) Research. (a) Dysentery: Some work was done on a group of inagglutinable strains of B. dysenteriae Flexner, collected during the past two years, in an effort to identify them with those strains isolated in India of which the antigenic pattern has been definitely established. Comparison was made possible through the kindness of Lieut. Colonel R. F. Bridges, R.A.M.C., Officer-in-Charge, Enteric Laboratory, Kasauli, who has kindly furnished us with the type cultures and anti-sera of the eight strains, forming Boyd's sub-groups A and B. Colonel Bridges also was most helpful in giving us his experience of the peculiarities of each strain. Rather disappointingly it was found that none of our strains were agglutinated by any of the anti-sera of
