46.-Table XV, e shews the number of men treated for venereal disease in the different Hospitals, Military, Naval, Police and Civil Hospitals, with the average number of men in Garrison and Port of different classes per month.
47.—Table XV, d shews the number of women treated in the Lock Hospital and the nature of their complaints,-only two of them have been found to suffer from constitutional disease.
48.-Table XV, d 2 shews the number of unregistered women proceeded against, of whom 193 were convicted and 39 found to be diseased.
Table XV, e shews the nature of the complaints among the men treated in the different Hospitals, with a comparison of the numbers of the last three years.
Tables XV, e 1 and XV, e 2 show the amount of constitutional disease contracted amongst the Naval and Military men.
Table XV, e 2 shews that none of the Naval Seamen contracted constitutional disease in Hongkong and only four contracted it elsewhere, as compared with 8 having contracted it in Hongkong and 24 elsewhere in 1883.
Table XV, e 1 shews that 28 of the military contracted constitutional disease in Hongkong against 13 in 1883. . Of the Police, 8 contracted constitutional disease, the same number also in 1883.
49.-The rise in the number of men attacked among the Military with constitutional symptoms is not easily accounted for, as the number of men diseased from all venereal complaints is 159 as compared with 153 in 1883, shewing but a slight increase in the total number of complaints.
50.-The Police have had 41 men sent to Hospital suffering from venereal disease, as compared with 42 in 1883; 8 of those suffered from constitutional disease and the same number in 1883.
51.-The seamen, not knowing their way about, rarely come in contact with any but the regis tered women, but both Military and Police are well aquainted with the town and with the whereabouts of unregistered women; but the Police have not suffered more than last year from constitutional disease, whereas the Military have more than doubled this number and the reason why I am unable to understand.
HEALTH OF THE COLONY.
52.-Table XVI shews the rate of mortality among European and American Residents in Hong- kong. The percentage to the number of residents for 1884, 3.09, is the highest in the past ten years. I give below the tables of the death rates for the past twelve years among Europeans and Chinese, as registered in Hongkong, from diseases which may be caused by filth poison.
