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 CuHarrman: 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.
