data are still wanting to determine the amount of Morphine
inhaled by a smoker of Dross Opium, and the amount of
Morphine exhaled both by Prepared and Dross Opium Smokers;
and I have accordingly directed the Government Analyst of
this Colony to make further investigations on this subject,
and also to ascertain, if possible, whether there are any
ingredients in the smoke from Prepared and Dross Opium,

smoker. I have also asked the Government of the Straits
Settlements to co-operate in these investigations.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,

Governor, &C..
