Pacific Is.

ORGANISED medical research is to be begun this summer in the Pacific islands administered by New Zea land.

An expedition, which will be formed from members of the research sections and teaching staff of the University Medical School in Dunedin, will go north in the University vacation. Their aim will be to make recommendations to the NZ Medical Research Council, on the most promising subjects for future research.

They will also survey the incidence of various diseases in the Islands.

Madame Boullanger and Miss Peggy Griffiths, of Noumea, were on holiday in Sydney in November.
