List of places registered under the Act for theperformance of experiments (18).Table II. List of licensees who performed no experiments (16).Table III. Number and nature of experiments performed byeach licensee. An outhouse and laboratory at the Military Barracks, Tipperaryhas been added to the list of registered places. The number of persons holding licences at the end of 1915 was 27.There were four new licences issued, 3 lapsed, 1 licensee died andone licence was revoked at the request of the licensee. Therenewal of two licences was deferred. The following certificates lapsed during the year:-Five of A, one of B, two of C, one of EE, and one of F.And new Certificates were granted as follows:-Six of A, oneof B, and one of C.Table III. shows that 590 590 experiments were performed by 17licensees, 66 being under licence alone and 524 under certificate. 488 To the Right Honourablethe Chief Secretary to theLord Lieutenant of Ireland 488 were simple inoculations under Certificate A. In 91 cases the object of the research was physi o logical; in 442 the object was pathological, and 57 with had a therapeutic aim. Three communications to learned socities are recorded as based upon the experiments of 1915; two of them on physiological problems of physiology and one pathological.

REPORT. 43, Merrion Square, Dublin, 31st August 1915. 1916 Sir, I have the honour herewith to submit a report of the work done in Ireland during the year 19145 under the Act 39 & 40 Vict. c. 77, together with the following tabular statements :— Table I. - List of places registered under the Act for the performance of experiments (17).

The Physiological Laboratory of University College, Galway, An outhouse and laboratory at the Military Barracks Tipperary has been added to the list of registered places. The number of persons holding licences at the end of 19145 was 39; 27 an increase There were 4 of 5 new licenses. issued, 3 lapsed, 1 licensee died and 1 licence was revoked at the request of the licensee. The renewal of two licenses was deferred. The following certificates lapsed during the year:— Five Six of A, one one of B, two of C, and one one of EE, one of F . And new Certificates were granted as follows :— Eight Six of A, three one of B, two one of C, one of EE, and one of F. Table III. shows that 340 590 experiments were preformed by 20 17 licensees, 92 66 being under licence alone and 248 524 under certificate. 210 488 were simple inoculations under Certificate A, of which 86 were made for the investigation of diseases of the lower animals. In 132 91 cases the object of the research was physiological ; in 198 442 the object was pathological, and 59 with either a diagnostic of a therapeutic aim ; and in eight cases the aim was medico legal. Three Three communications to learned societies are recorded as based upon the experiments of 1914 1915 ; all two of them on problems of physiology, and one pathological. It occurs to me that where so many problems especially pertaining to the public health are being examined by earnest and well-qualified persons they might be invited to record in their annual reports a brief note of any results definitely acquired by them. The fact that tubercle bacilli have been found in this or that proportion of samples of milk submitted to examination ought to have publicity in the interest of public health ; as things are at present, modesty or want of leisure may delay or prevent the publication of results which may be of great importance. If such results were recorded in licensees' returns this annual report would acquire a scientific value ; while subsequent fuller publication of methods and results would rather be promoted than prejudiced. I have every reason to believe that the holders of licences have obeyed the spirit as well as the letter of the Act, and that experiments have not been unnecessarily multiplied. I am, &c., Joseph O'Carroll. To the Right Honourable the Chief Secretary of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. [Table not transcribed.
