 Commiftee, consisting nf ]\[r. A. R. Shipley (Chairman') ; Mr. G.

The question of Anh/Iosfomiasis in British mines has now been included 

 in tlie reference to the Royal Commission appointed to inquire into and 

 report on certain questions relating to the health and safe'ty of miners, 

 and a member of the Committee for 1904-0.') is one of the Commissioners. 

 Under these circumstances the Committee do not pi'opose to issuo 

 any further report, and recommend that they be not reappointed.

 Dr. F. Du Cane (todman, ond Mr. Fd(;ar A. Smith. 



Thr Committee was appointed iu 1S90 and has since been annually 

 I'eappointed. 



A part of the Fauna Hawaiiensis, consisting of the Microlepidopteia, 

 liy Lord WaLsingham, is about to be issued ; and two other parts, dealing 

 Y.'ith the Coleoptera, are well advanced. Since the last report the Com- 

 mittee has sustained a sevei'e loss by the death of Dr. W. T. Blanford. 

 The Committee asks for reappointment without a grant. As its work is 

 now nearly completed, it seems unnecessary to add a new member to 

 replace the late T)r. Blanford.
