These Reports, price 6d., can be purchased, either directly or through any boolcseller, from Wyman and Sons, Fetter Lane, E.C.) Three new places were registered for the performance of experiments, and three places were removed from the register, during 1908. All licensees were restricted to the registered place or places specified on their licenses, with the exception of those who were per- mitted to perforin inoculation experiments in places other than a “registered place” with the object of studying outbreaks of disease occurring in remote districts or under circumstances which render it impracticable to perform the experiment in a “ registered place.” The total number of licensees was 453. Reports were furnished by (or, in a few exceptional cases, on behalf of) these licensees, in the form required by the Secretary of State. The Reports show that 126 licensees performed no experiments. These numbers include 23 licensees whose licenses expired on February 29th, 1908, and of whom 22 returned no experiments in 1908. The total number of experiments is divided into : (1) those in which anaesthetics were used : (2) those which were performed without anaesthetics. England and Scotland.
