Hongkong, 7th. October, 1902.
In reply to your Despatch No. 268 of the
28th. of last August, I have the honour to inform you that
Professor Simpson was consulted more than once by the Medical
Officer of Health and the Principal Civil Medical Officer con-
cerning the proposal to appoint additional Port Health Officers
for Hongkong, but that, as it was understood that Professor
Simpson preferred to defer expressing any opinion until his
final report on plague which he intended to present to the
Colonial Office by the end of last September, no recommenda-
tions have yet been made in this matter.

In my opinion the system of Medical super-
vision of shipping best adapted to the local requirements of
Hongkong is the 2nd. of the 3 systems described by Dr. Bell
in his minute of the 22nd. July, 1901, which was transmitted
to you as enclosure No. 4 in my Despatch No. 345 of the 5th.
September, 1901. This is the existing system, and, in view of
the fact that another Port Health Officer has been appointed
and is on his way to the Colony, delay in the working of the
system should in future be avoided.

In reply to the 2nd. paragraph of your
Despatch under reference I have the honour to inform you that
