Institute at Rome. As a matter of fact the International 

 Association for Tropical Agriculture was founded with a 

 special sphere of work in tropical agriculture, and it would 

 naturally feel disposed to undertake any investigation in con- 

 nection with tropical agriculture such as this, which evidently 

 needs special consideration from the tropical point of view. 

 Dr. Warburg's proposal for the appointment of a Committee is 

 strictly in accordance with our usual procedure in connection 

 with the work of the International Association for Tropical 

 Agriculture. Whether we do or do not appoint a Committee, 

 this particular subject is evidently one for further discussion 

 from our point of view, and I wish, at the same time, to support 

 Sir Sydney Olivier's contention that in a subject in which 

 the International Agricultural Institute at Rome has taken 

 action, the International Association for Tropical Agriculture 

 should co-operate 'for tropical agriculture and assist the 

 Institute at Rome in its inquiries. 



The CHAIRMAN : I suggest that the appointment of a 

 Committee should be considered, and that any motion on the 

 subject should be brought up at the final general meeting. I 

 now declare the session at an end.
