vaccine was intended to survive a long sea voyage through the tropics. With a view to seeing whether storage at 40° F. would effect this, I arranged accordingly with Capt. Mann of the transport "Rewa", to take specimens of Hongkong prepared lymph thus stored to England for report, which will be made later.
During the Autumn I made an exhaustive examination of vaccine vesicles of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 days growth respectively, in an attempt to discover the organism of Vaccinia, but without success.
Nine thousand five hundred and ninety-one (9,591) tubes of vaccine were issued during the year.
Bacteriological Examination of Water Supplies.
The routine monthly examinations of the Kowloon, Pokfulam and Tytam have been carried out regularly during the year. These waters are of high bacteriological purity, comparing favourably with those of all Colonies whose reports are at present available.
In addition, Dr. Hunter in May made an exhaustive examination of the waters passed through the Albany Filter Beds near Bowen Road, also various other samples of water from scattered sources were examined during the course of the year.
