Hongkong when the plague broke out here. in 1894; but when that awful rivelation came of the chokad drain in Bonham Strand somehow the defendants of the drainage system were not quite so strong in their support of the absc Director of Public Works. The municipal authorities in Bombay differ from the prominent me 2/2dical practitioners, and necribe the origin of the disease to the fact that this year, at the commencentent of the monsoon sea- son, there was an abnormal downfall of Tain, and that the old drains in the locality, Raving become partly silted up, did not allow of the refuse water being carried off. Added to the above the extreme heat of the past few days probably caused gases to arise, hence the ill-ventilated state of the houses and their dirty condition.
