BACTERIOLOGICAL INSTITUTE.
REPORT BY DR. H. MACFARLANE, Bacteriologist.
STAFF.
Fleet-Surgeon E. A. Shaw, R.N., continued to act as Government Bacteriologist and Medical Officer in charge of the Mortuary, Victoria, till April 13th when I took over the duties.
The Chinese Staff has given every satisfaction—one Mafoo and one Rat Coolie, who were not considered necessary, have been dispensed with.
BUILDINGS.
The whole of the Institute was overhauled and put in a thorough state of repair by the Public Works Department during the months of August and September.
MUSEUM.
Some forty-five specimens have been added to the collection of Pathological specimens started by Dr. Hunter and continued by Dr. Shaw. The Museum now contains some specimens of considerable interest and it is hoped to add to it as rapidly as possible so that a representative collection may be got together. Its value in teaching the class of Pathology in the Hongkong College of Medicine is naturally very great. Several Medical Practitioners have been good enough to send specimens.
OTHER WORKERS.
Dr. J. W. Wright of the Tak Hing Hospital, West River, worked in the Laboratory daily during the month of August at Tropical Research methods.
Surgeon J. Glaister, R.N., H.M.S. Kent, has been carrying on a research into "Big Head" in horses and other matters in the Laboratory since October 4th; the work is still in progress.
Dr. J. S. Stewart also worked in the Laboratory starting on the 27th December.
THE PREPARATION OF VACCINE LYMPH.
Eighteen (18) calves have been vaccinated during the year 1910—of which fourteen were Buffaloes. The calves do not take well as a rule and are therefore not used if Buffalo calves can be obtained. Of the 18 calves, 14 took apparently well, one died before
