66. The number of bodies considered by the Secretary for Chinese Affairs to have been abandoned during the year was 960 as compared with 1,066 in 1917 and 1,051 in 1916.

Of the 960 bodies abandoned, 43 were taken to the Chinese Public Dispensaries.
The number of bodies reported by the Police as dumped during the year was 917 (Table XX).

69. The accounts show a substantial balance, which increased during 1918 from $7,394 to $14,497.
