Reports to the Colonial Office. 
My first letter on locusts, dated 28th August (copy enclosed) addressed 
to you, must have been lost iu the post, as it was carefully sent to your 
address. 
I note that a separate report re White Ants will be forwarded to me 
later. I have received a copy of the “ Bulletin” for July, 189(>, of the 
Botanical Department of Trinidad through the Colonial Office ; but the 
“ Bulletin ” deals with the West Indian White Ants only, which present 
no resemblance whatever to the Sudan White Ants. 
I am anxiously awaiting the result of the investigations kindly under- 
taken by the Museum before taking any further steps. 
I remain, etc.,
