W. GISBORNE.

Downing Street, 10th December, 1870.

SIR,--The Royal Humane Society are desirous that,
in cases in which the Governors of the Colonies may
make application for rewards, a fac-simile of the
accompanying Form may be made use of in future,
as a means of avoiding the delay which sometimes
occurs from the necessity for sending for further
information before a case can be dealt with.

I have, &c.,
KIMBERLEY.

The Officer Administering
the Government of New Zealand.

Copy of a Circular Letter addressed to the Society's
Medical Assistants by order of the Committee.

THE Committee, in returning their most cordial and
grateful thanks to those medical gentlemen who
have gratuitously given their time and attention
towards the fulfilment of the objects of the Royal
Humane Society, beg leave to offer the following
observations for the favour of their careful con-
sideration.

However nearly the resuscitative process recom-
mended by the Royal Humane Society may now
approach towards perfection, much may yet be
effected by close attention to those symptoms which
occur during the progress of recovery, and the
changes which may result from the means employed.
Many interesting restorations from apparent death
have been communicated to the Committee with no
other narrative than "that the means recommended by
the Society were employed." But, in order to ascertain
the real efficacy of the methods so adopted, a more
minute history of the case would be very acceptable,
especially with reference to the following data, viz. :-

• The time of actual submersion.*
  The appearance of the body.
  Resuscitative process employed.
  The first and progressive symptoms of returning
  animation.
  And the time from commencement of the restora-
  tive plan to a return of animation.

Instructions to Claimants for Rewards of the Royal
Humane Society, setting forth the particulars of the
case of , who risked his own life in rescuing

2. Name, address, age, and occupation of the
   person saved.

   dent occurred, depth of water, &c., to be here stated.
4. The precise nature of the exertions used and
   risk incurred in saving the person, and other par-

5. What was the actual time of immersion of the
   person saved, and the state of the body when first
   rescued?
6. What was done with the body, and where taken
   to?\u2020
7. Who was sent for; who came; what was then
   done, and what kind of treatment was adopted?
   This paper to be accompanied by certificates of
   one or more eye-witnesses, who should add their
   profession or trade after signature, and state fully,
   in their own hand-writing, the precise nature of the
   claimant's exertions, showing the actual risk he
   thereby incurred.
   The Petition, with the above details, as nearly as
   they can be procured, to be left at or sent to the
   Society's Office, 4, Trafalgar Square, Charing Cross,
   within fourteen days from the occurrence of the case,

   miles.

[CIRCULAR.]
Downing Street, 2nd February, 1871.

SIR,--I transmit to you herewith, for your informa-
tion and guidance, copies of the Naturalization Acts,
1870 (33 Vict., cap. 14; 33 and 34 Vict., cap.
102), together with Forms of Declarations to be taken
under them. These forms, as you will see, have been
regulated by the Secretary of State for the Home
Department, under the 11th section of 33 Vict.,
cap. 14.

• As it is seldom possible to ascertain this by direct means,
  the mode by which the time of submersion is calculated should
  be also stated.
  \u2020 Should the patient have been taken to a public-house, a
  certificate of the landlord, verified also by the medical attendant,
  should be attached, and stating what accommodation was
  afforded.
