    in addition to visiting Papworth twice during the year, has presided at the London meetings of the Committee. The Committee suffered a great loss during the year by the retirement (on account of ill health, which we all much regret), of Sir Walter Langdon-Brown, and of Dr.-George Salt (on account of pressure of work in Cambridge). Both had rendered signal service to Pap¬ worth during the trying war years. We are again greatly indebted to the > Medical Consultative Committee, whose generous help and advice has enabled us to maintain the high level of medical work at Papworth. The thanks of the Committee are also due to the members of the Hon¬ orary and Visiting Staff for their unfailing readiness to assist at all times the resident Medical Staff ; to the Hospital Guild, under the guidance of Mrs. Shore, for the very great help provided to the hospitals during the year, and to our donors and sub¬ scribers, whose continued generosity to Papworth is a most encouraging sign for the future. In conclusion, the Committee desire to place on record their thanks to the Medical Director, Air Commodore R. R. Trail, who, on his release from the Royal Air Force in July, has been able to devote his whole time to the further¬ ance of the needs of the Settlement, and to the Hospital and Industrial Staffs who have given him loyal support.
