MALARIA IN THE NEW! TERRITORY,
The Principal Civil Medical Officer reports as follows :--
There has been a inarked diminution in the number of malarial fever cases from the Police Stations in the New Territory during the year: 1901. On comparing the admissions to the Hospital for this class of disease for the last two years we find that the nine Police Stations to the North of the moge of hills bounding Kowloon give the following figures

Sai Kung, * San Tin. * Tái Fő....

Average Malarial Fever Strength Admissions. 1900 1901 1900, 1951.

99-138
In other words the percentage of malarial fever admissions to Hospital from the New Territory dropped from go per cent. in 1900 to 52.5 per cent. in igor. This was undoubtedly occasioned to a great extent by the active pro- phylactic treatment which was commenced on and continued up to 1st the 1st May, 1907 November of that year. This varied. At those stations marked Professor Koch's net hod was used, viz, one gramme of quinine being given daily for two days, followed by an interval of five days without any quinine, and so on; at those marked a daily dose of three or five grains of quinine was given, whereas at one station, viz., Au Tau 1/fo grain of arsenic was given twice daily.

to open them again. The existing condition of affairs in Canton, I understand, is largely attributed to the fact that the inhabitants there draw their water supply from wells, and as regards the water supply of this Colony, it is serious enough, but I do not think it is in such
serious condition as to justify such a step The returns for last month showed, that the inhabitants of this City received an average of seven gallons per head per day, which, if my memory serves me rightly, is more than the Kowloon inbabitants receive under their system. of full supply; therefore the supply of water to the City is not in such a desperate condition as to justify any measure that would be attended with grave risks to the inhabitants generally
Mr. Fung Wa Chun-I think Hongkong is different from Canton, Canton has no drains, whereas we have regular drains. If we should find the water impure we could easily post up a notice in the vicinity of these wells: warning people that the water is not pure and only to be use for cleansing purposes. As regards the consumption of seven gallons per head, as stated by the Director of Public Works, we must not forget that this is the Tomb Festival and that large numbers of Chinese have gone into the country, otherwise more water would have been required. I am strongly in favour of re-opening the wells
Lieut, Col. Hughes-There is no doubt in my mind that there is a great scarcity of water, and everywhere I go I can see large numbers of Chiness going with backets to draw supplies from street tanks. These wells have apparent ly been closed since 1895 or 1890

From this it will be seen that quinine is the best prophylactic, and of the two me anything, the daily administration o dose has been followed by the best results. Another important factor in this diminution is that the Police were in 1901 boused in perman- ent buildings. At Sha Tau Kok in 1900 the Police were under canvas. Recognised pre- cautions were more fully taken against malaria; the neighbourhood of the Police Stations were kept as free as possible of Anopheles; the Police were instructed how to recognize Anopheles pools and were shewn the methods of destroying the larva all standing collections of water were as far as possible got rid of and many trees eucalyptus and others from that source were planted. In August, shortly after my D return, I visited the New Territory accompanied resolu by the Captain Superintendent of Police, we that inspected Tái Pó and Sha Ten Kok Lre water commended that the numerous paddy fields, adjoining the Police Station at Sha Tau Kok should, if possible, be resumed and reclaimed there is constantly stagnant water on them which forms excellent breeding places Anopheles, "I also recommended that, to better drain the swampy grounds around the Police Stations, numbers of eucalyptus trees should be planted, what is required is to plant these trees on the damp areas at the base of the hills, on the slopes of the hills,
