Lai-chi Kok Gaol.—Dr. Smalley was in medical charge of these prisoners, the daily average number of whom was 153. There was a fair amount of malaria among the staff and prisoners, and quinine parades were in force throughout the year. An epidemic of influenza occurred but was of short duration. The Medical Officer remarks that the boys' reformatory has filled a long-felt want and the improvement in their appearance after a short stay at Lai-chi Kok has been very evident.

The Dispensary, Kowloon.—15,838 persons attended this year, and 11,317 attended last year. These numbers include people who visited the dispensary on more than one occasion. Included in the total are 510 patients who were vaccinated.
The general health of the police force has been good and so has that of the staff of the railway, both European and Chinese. Those members of the Chinese staff of the railway whose work requires them to be free from defects of vision were examined twice during the year in order to exclude those who did not attain to the proper standard.
The stretcher cots in the trains and the medical chests and stores were maintained. Twelve of the employees on the railway passed the examinations in First Aid work.
