There is no laboratory for Histology and the work of teach- ing is only possible by using the laboratory for practical Physiology. The condition of affairs in the teaching of these subjects must be again seriously considered, for the time has come when it cannot be faithfully said that the teaching is adequate.
The Department of Gross Anatomy is effectually prevented from developing by the fact that it is shared with the Department of Surgery. The separation of the two departments should be carried out as soon as possible.

2. Examinations. Of this number 76 students sat for the degree examinations, the results of which are given below:
EXAMINATION RESULTS,
Of the 9 students who graduated in 1930, 5 took Electrical Engineering and 4 Civil Engineering. Mr. Pao Yue Lum (Civil) obtained First Class Honours and Mr. Koh Nye Poh (Electrical) Second Class Hosours.
Mr. Woo Chok Heng who graduated in 1929 has, since the last report was drawn up, been awarded Second Class Honours by the London Assessor.
3. Staff.-Prof. M. H. Roffey and Mr. Weller were absent on long leave during the year. Professor Roffey's duties were very ably carried out by Rev. Fr. T. Cooney, S.J., B.Sc. Unfortunately Fr. Cooney's health broke down in September and but for the courtesy of the Hong Kong Electric Co. who permitted Mr. C. H. Coutts to give a series of lectures on Electrical Design it would have been almost impossible to provide the full course of instruction in Electrical Engineering. As it was Mr. Day had a very heavy burden of work during the Autumn Term. Mr. H. Braga, B.SC., Demonstrator in Civil Engineering, resigned his appointment in July in order to join the Public Works Depart- ment. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining a suitable successor the vacancy caused by his resignation was not filled during the session.
4. Publications.--The second issue of the Engineering Journal was published in June. The following articles were contributed by members of the staff:-
Training Engineers and Artisans-Prof. C. A. Middleton Smith, Rapid Hardening Cements -Prof. F. A. Redmond.
This Journal seems to be greatly appreciated not only by our own students, past and present, but by engineers generally in China. It is a matter for regret that it is not possible at present to publish more often than once a year.
5. Conclusion. The Faculty of Engineering, after a period of lean years, would appear to be gaining ground once more and gaining it rapidly. The following figures are worth noting:—
