    The Committee again desire to convey their sincere thanks to the entire Staff of the Hospital for the way in which they have carried out their duties ; they are all working under difficulties, and have willingly accepted fresh responsibitities. Mr. J. Dixon Robinson resigned his appointment as one of the Honorary Dental Surgeons owing to duties outside the Island ; Mr. W. W. Hargreaves has kindly consented to undertake the whole of the duties of the Dental Department until he is called up for service with the R.A.M.C., when he will arrange with his locum tenens to carry on. The Ear, Nose and Throat Department has again lost the services of Dr. W. H. B. Magauran, F.R.C.S., until the end of the war ; arrange¬ ments have been made with Mr. Harold Downer, D.L.O., R.C.P. and S. Eng., who is on the Staff of the Royal Sussex County Hospital to act as Specialist to the Department. There is a separate report upon the work of the Contributory Scheme, which continues to be very successful notwithstanding the difficult prevailing conditions : the Committee desire to include in this report their very grateful thanks to all the workers for their valuable services which are very much appreciated. The Committee are very grateful to all friends of the Hospital for contributions both in money and in kind which are a great help in these difficult times. The assistance of the Press at all times readily given is most welcome. The following Members of Committee retire under Rule 24 Mr. W. J. Couldrey, J.P., Laura Lady Simeon, Captain H. A. Drudge, Mr. G. H. Arthur, Mrs. S. R. Bird, Mr. Aubrey A. H. Wykeham, D.L., J.P. and Mr. E. J. Fair weather.

Signed on behalf of the Committee, ARTHUR ANDREWS, J.P. Chairman.
