Description
Protests that a letter from WT Prout to the Colonial Office was read to a meeting of the malaria committee of the Royal Society without its appearing on the agenda. He complains that it was of no scientific interest but merely a personal attack on himself, ML Taylor and the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. He has told the Liverpool School and he withdraws his agreement to the resolution about it which was passed by the malaria committee.
