Plague.
There were no cases of plague notified during 1927. The date of the notification of the last case of this disease in the Colony was September 27th, 1923.
The Colony has therefore been assumably free from plague for well over four years.
The last notification of a plague infected rat was on September 17th, 1923.
The following table shows the monthly incidence of plague for the last ten years.
