TitleCopy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison, to Lieutenant Colonel [Alfred William] Alcock, Fellow of the Royal Society
Date27 June 1907
DescriptionHarrison explains that the Indian Government Advisory Committee met the previous day and appointed five special Sub-Committees to consider the different sections of the programmes and reports submitted to the Committee by the India Office. Alcock has been nominated a member of the zoology sub-committee alongside Dr Gunther and Richard Lydekker.

The only document immediately before them is the annual report of the Board of Scientific Advice for 1905-6, but the Programme of Work for 1907-8 is likely to be received next month. The Chairman has proposed to Dr Gunther, who has been asked to act as chairman of the sub-committee, that these documents be considered together to allow a report upon them to be made to the full committee early in the autumn.
