death-rate among Chiness children has been found to be the prevalence of malarial fever. Those deaths do not appear among the classified returns, for the obvious reason that there is no opportunity in the majority of cases of classifying them.

As for the comparison of Hongkong with “Ismailia and elsewhere," vague as thein latter word is, the statement is still sufficiently absurd. Writing to the Colonial COGNAC BRANDY Office in October, 1902, Sir WILLIAM MACGREGOR says that a fair average of the cases of malaria that presented them- selves in the Suez Canal Company's ́ service ulone at Ismailia would be about 165 a month.
