Dr T. Yamanouchi, Tokio, Japan, 1910; Dr S. Yoshida, Department of Path¬ 
ology, Osaka University, 1920. 
Work carried out in the Quick Laboratory. 
During the years 1906-21 the publications that emanated from the labora¬ 
tory numbered 216, a large proportion appearing in this Journal. Some of the 
research work was done for Governments, notably that on piroplasmosis and 
East Coast Fever for the Governments of Cape Colony and Transvaal; that 
on the bionomics of houseflies, on fleas in connection with rat-plague, and on 
lice (in the first instance) for the Local Government Board; that on bee disease 
for the Board of Agriculture; that on lice and scabies for the War Office, the 
latter having been aided in drawing up Army Council Instructions dealing with 
lousiness and itch among troops and the methods of combating these wide¬ 
spread evils. “Combating Lousiness among Soldiers and Civilians” to the 
number of 250 copies (reprinted from Parasitology, x. No. 4, May 1918, 
pp. 411-586, 4 pis., 26 text-figs.) and issued in a special cover were presented 
by the writer to the British and Allied Army Medical Corps during the war. 
Apart from the foregoing may be mentioned researches on bugs in relation 
to relapsing fever, on fleas and lice as carriers of rat trypanosomes, on the 
bionomics and structure of anopheline mosquitoes and their relation to malaria 
in England, on heartwater in sheep and goats, on piroplasmosis in the dog and 
horse, on the discovery of a remedy (trypanblue) for piroplasmosis and 
scientific observations on the effects of the drug, on the monographic treatment 
of the subject of ticks and of the louse, without mentioning other parasitologi¬ 
cal papers dealing with pathogenic protozoa, etc. 
The activities of the Quick Laboratory were not confined to researches, 
for the writer, as its representative, served on various advisory bodies, notably 
as (a) Member of the Advisory Committee for Plague Investigations in India 
appointed by the Secretary of State for India, the Royal Society and Lister 
Institute; ( b ) Member of the Epizootic Abortion Committee of the Department 
of Agriculture and Fisheries; (c) Member of the Honorary Committee of 
Management of the Imperial Bureau of Entomology, Colonial Office; ( d ) Member 
of the Government Grant Committee for Scientific Investigations, Royal 
Society; ( e) Member of the Fish Preservation Committee of the Department 
of Scientific and Industrial Research; (/) Member of the Army Pathology 
Advisory Committee, War Office. As usual, these various services have been 
rendered gratuitously. 
REGARDING VARIOUS GRANTS AND BENEFACTIONS 
IN AID OF RESEARCH. 
The income of the Quick Fund proving insufficient, the writer found 
it necessary to obtain financial assistance from outside sources, no funds being 
available from the University. For several years he defrayed the extra cost 
including the payment of the University Assistant to the chair and a Secretary.
