subject for discussion, the technique for its demonstration would have been familiar to the Fellows, and I should have gone back to China in a satisfactory position to pursue its study under favourable circumstances. I lost ten years by this.
Now, what happened to me in this matter of the malaria parasite, has, I know, happened to others equally interested in tropical medicine, equally keen to study it, and, if possible to advance it. And not only in this matter of the malaria parasite, but in other and similar organisms. They have had no opportunity of seeing these things, in their Hying visits to this country, or of learning how to recognise them. They go abroad, and, although anxious to work, they are not in a position to work in a fruitful way. The tropical schools do much, but they do not adequately supply the wants of the flying visitor. I take it that our Society has a distinct role in this direction. It will be powerfully educative, and no one wishing to get abreast of the actual position of tropical medicine at the time of his visit to London need go away ignorant on any particular point, no matter how recently it may have cropped up.
Dr. C. W. Daniels, Director London School of Tropical Medicine, gave an Epidiascope Demonstration of various microscopic and other objects of interest in Tropical Medicine.
