The Egyptian Satrapy had the first-rate importance for Achaemenid Persia. Many important and wrinkled issues on the administrative policy and historical geography of the VI Satrapy were examined in the article, the elucidation of which has an important meaning for studying the history of Achaemenid Persia. Analysis of informations received from Herodotus and other ancient sources shows that Egypt had great economic and military importance to Persian Court. Тhe VI Satrapy was divided into four subdistricts: Egypt, Libya, Cyrene and Barca.

Symbiosis is systematic biological co-operation, and, whether we view it in a narrow, morphological, or in a wider yet more definite socio-physiological sense, it is a phenomenon of first-rate importance, deserving widest attention. Botany, zoology, physiology, pathology, agriculture, sociology are all vitally concerned in symbiosis.

There has at various times during the war been a good deal of discussion of the advantages to be gained from interposing a “cooling-off period” between the conclusion of hostilities in the obvious sense and the formal execution of an elaborate peace treaty. During such a possibly prolonged period of armistice (or whatever else it might be called), some of the passions generated during the war, it is hoped, might be mitigated, and an opportunity given for more leisurely, and therefore more intelligent and farsighted, investigation of many of the knotty problems to which during the war busy statesmen can scarcely be expected to apply their minds.The attractiveness of this idea is obvious enough. It would be an inestimable benefit if somehow or other we could ensure that the postwar settlement would be made by people immune from the passions and hatreds which on all sides are likely to generate clouded and distorted thinking after the war. And it is equally obvious that, even with the most careful preparation now, there will, at the conclusion of the war, still be questions of first-rate importance, about which few people whose judgment merited respect would be prepared to offer confident solutions for immediate application. And even if they had confidence in their judgments on these issues, they are unlikely during the war to make as much progress as might be desired in convincing all the parties whose coöperation will be essential for the execution of their plans of the wisdom of their views.

On economic, political and military grounds, India was of first rate importance to the British and education was the instrument by which they sought to maintain and strengthen their domination by experimenting with a unique model of educating an elite through a foreign language. However, contrary to the popular belief, English education was not forced on the Indians. Rich Indian citizens had actively come forward in setting up the system as the only way to modernize their society. So much time was spent in mastering English language by the Indian School boys that the main purpose of education was missed. The premium on rate learning and examinations was so high, that the growth of inquisitiveness and an experimental bent of mind, so necessary for economic development, were not cultivated. But more important was an invisible and quite change in attitudes and values of viewing education as a social welfare activity for girls and an investment for boys. As an outcome, the system concentrated on a centralized and uniform higher education

The case of Sinclair v. Brougham has been generally regarded as an authority of first-rate importance. I think it has been properly so regarded, though my reasons for so thinking may not altogether agree with the reasons emphasized by some lawyers. I regard the case as primarily significant as embodying the leading principles on which the Court acts in exercising its equitable jurisdiction to give relief in order to prevent unjust enrichment, or to achieve restitution, if we accept the useful term which has been employed in the recently published American Restatement of the Law of Restitution. The word itself is only an echo of language which will be found in English judgments, indeed, in this very case of Sinclair v. Brougham. The case shows how the Court can do justice by applying equitable principles where the Common Law would have been powerless. But since every Court is now bound in the same proceeding to apply either law or equity or both as the circumstances may require, the distinction between law and equity is now only important in the sense that the differences of method and rules must be observed. In the case we are considering a company had borrowed money for purposes for which it was ultra vires for it to borrow. There could in law be no claim for money lent and no claim in law for the repayment on the ground of quasi-contract or, to use the now obsolete phrase, contract ‘implied in law’, because to allow such a claim as a merely money claim would be to sanction an evasion of the public policy forbidding ultra vires borrowing by companies. Further, as the money lent or its products could not be identified in the company's possessions, a claim in law could not be maintained. But the powers of the Court were not exhausted. The problem was further complicated by the conflicting claims of the shareholders.

When I was invited to deliver this lecture I proposed to deal with some aspects of Aeroplane Photographic Survey in which I have been especially interested, but in view of an event which happened on October 13, 1923, viz., the death of Major J. C. Griffiths in a flying accident at Coventry, I have felt that it is my duty to devote some part of this lecture to a consideration of the contributions made by my late friend to the advance of our knowledge of some of the fundamental features underlying the practice of aerial survey. For morethan three years, Griffiths, working under the direction of Prof. B. M. Jones, toiled at certain problems which were by no means easy to attack, which were absolutely of first-rate importance as a basis for certain types of survey work, and which when fully investigated provided results which had nothing spectacular about them, but which have laid a firm foundation for future work. Underconditions which were seldom easy and were frequently most discouraging, he worked unremittingly towards the solution of the problems which he was investigating, and has produced results which are of lasting worth.

The economic importance of Trematode infections of mammals has been, and is still, felt even in this country. Epidemic liver-rot in cattle and sheep is probably one of the most serious epidemic diseases with which veterinarians have had to deal and its ravages have, on occasion, been severe. Bilharziasis in cattle is possibly of considerably less importance and, so far as I am aware, has never become endemic in this country. As pathogenic agents the Amphistomes are of third-rate importance.
