BACTERIOLOGICAL INSTITUTE.
Report by H. H. SCOTT, M.D., M.R.C.P. (Lond.), F.R.S.E., M.R.C.S. (Eng.), D.P.H., Government Bacteriologist.
The work of this Institute is best described under the two main headings of I. Routine, II. Special and Research work.
Under the former would be placed the following:
1. Preparation of Calf Lymph.
2. Antimeningococcic serum. Contagious Abortion Vaccine. Antityphoid, paratyphoid, cholera, and other vaccines.
3. Bacterial analyses of water samples.
4. Examinations in connection with clinical work.
5. Post-mortem examinations at the Victoria Mortuary.
6. Examination of rats for plague.
Under the second group—Special Work and Research:—
1. In connection with Enteric Fever.
2. Tuberculosis.
3. Rabies.
1. THE PREPARATION OF CALF LYMPH.
Ten calves were inoculated during the year. The total number of tubes of lymph issued was 18,738, which exceeds that of the previous year by 11,344. The value of the lymph according to Government Notification No. 380 of 1910 was $4,089.50. Certain difficulty in obtaining buffalo calves for inoculation has arisen owing to the prohibition of exportation of these calves from Kouang Tcheou Wan, but steps have been taken to overcome this.
2. THE PREPARATION OF ANTIMENINGOCOCCIC SERUM.
This is being steadily maintained. During the year four more horses were obtained in place of the original ones.
There were 18 to 20 litres of the serum in stock at the end of last year and, at the present time there are 36 litres, or 1,800 doses.
3. PREPARATION OF CONTAGIOUS ABORTION VACCINE.
This is regularly prepared here and supplied on demand from the Dairy Farm.
