The rabies virus is being steadily maintained by passage through the rabbit. Anti-rabic vaccines have been supplied to 26 patients including five outside of the Colony.
Twenty-eight specimens of brains, mostly dog's, were sent in during the year for examination for rabies and of these seventeen were found to be positive.

The appended table (Table I) gives the various materials dealt with, the number of each, month by month, and the total.
