What appears to have been an outbreak of the secondary type commenced in the Central District of Hong Kong very early in the spring. This appeared to be stamped out after a few weeks but a disturbing factor appeared about two months later in the fact that evidence seemed to suggest that the semi-wild dogs on Mount Caroline had the infection among them. Isolated cases have occurred throughout the year but it is hoped that the outbreak is at an end.
In the spring the most energetic campaign practicable under local conditions was inaugurated and has had good results.
The main features were muzzling of all dogs, restriction of movement and destruction of strays. The motor cycle dog cage is the most effective equipment devised in the Colony up to date and in my opinion several of these could be kept in commission with advantage.

Rinderpest: One outbreak occurred in an isolated shed with 21 fatal cases.
Anthrax: No cases.
