The smaller number of admissions for 1925 is accounted for by the general exodus of large number of Chinese from Hongkong during the strike.-With reference to the number of Chinese lunatics transferred to the Asylum in Canton it is interesting to note they were all sent during the first six months of the year and the admissions during this time were 160.

The admissions for the second half of the year were 102 and it has been impossible to send any patients to Canton and yet the number of Chinese Lunatic remaining in Hospital at the end of the year was only 11. This fact is significant apropos of the statement made in the year 1923 report.

The experience of the last half of the year has gone to show that nearly all the Chinese brought to the Asylum for treatment can be discharged, in a few weeks, either cured or so much relieved that they can be looked after by their relatives or by the authorities at the Tung Wah Hospital.
