A special research into the nature of the Pokfulam Water was commenced about the 15th October and will continue till the end of April next. This research occupies the whole time of the Laboratory at present.
Precipitins.—A considerable amount of time has been spent in the preparation of precipitins for medico-legal work. Some have been successfully made, tubed and stored in the cold store, others are in hand.
Specific sera for testing for Cholera, Typhoid, Dysentery, etc., have been made and stored, also Hæmolytic Immune Body for Wasserman's Reaction.
The collection of biting flies, etc., continues, but little progress has been made owing to want of time.
