      James has been responsible for the government works programme. He is the last expatriate senior official left in the administration, apart from the Attorney General, Jeremy Mathews.

   3) Geometric interpretation of the localization. Let V be an irreducible algebraic variety. Then P = J(V) is a prime ideal of #92;mathbb#123;C#125;#91;X#95;1,...,X#95;n#93; and so #92;mathbb#123;C#125;#91;V#93;#61;#92;mathbb#123;C#125;#91;X#95;1,...,X#95;n#93;#47;J(V) is an integral domain. The localization #92;mathbb#123;C#125;#91;X#95;1,...,X#95;n#93;#95;P is a subring of #92;mathbb#123;C#125;(X#95;1,...,X#95;n) consisting of rational functions #92;#123;f#47;g#58;f,g#92;in#92;mathbb#123;C#125;#91;X#95;1,...,X#95;n#93;,g#92;notinP#92;#125; which are defined on a nonempty subset of V. If V = {x} is a point, then P is maximal and #92;mathbb#123;C#125;#91;X#95;1,...,X#95;n#93;#95;P#61;#92;#123;f#47;g#58;f,g#92;in#92;mathbb#123;C#125;#91;X#95;1,...,X#95;n#93;,g(x)#92;ne 0#92;#125; consists of rational functions which are defined at x.
