TH THE GAON. Table V. shows the rats of Sickness and Mortality in this establishment.
Hongkong from its peculiar position in re- Istion to the mainland of China and the other ports of the East must at all times be liable to epidemic diseases, and notwithstanding the quergetic efforts of the health officer, cases of infectious disease are undoubtedly imported. The past year has nevertheless exhibited a remarkable exemption from that fearful Scourge---Small-poz; only three cases having hean admitted into the Civil Hospital against 20 cases in 1863.
It will be noted.shat the death rate was less than one-half of that of the previous year. The total number of fatal cases only, amounted to 12, and none of those were the result of in- carnaration. Most providentially, when Cho- lora was committing such ravages at Stone Cutters land, nad striking its victims in our crowded streets and among the taverns in Cholera proved a much more fatal malady Queen's Road, only a single cese occurred and its invasion asst be traced, to a great in Victoria Gaol.

The data from watch this compiled are furnished to me be the Registrar Genial as regards the Number of Residents and by the Saxtone of the two Cemeteries as regards the deaths, iz- cluding in both cases Military, and Naval and Marchani Seamen, as well as burials from the Hospitals. Supposing the data to be correct, the result is not so satisfactory in reference to the climate of fougkong as is the previous year. It would however be unfair to crit all mention of an important piece of statistical information afforded me by the Eheriff, viz that at least one third of the residents change every year; and it is notorious that as soon as an European homes attacked by any olimatić
