In Table II, statistics of cases treated at the following Dispensaries are shown:- Taipo, Un Long, Western Public, Kowloon City, Sham Shui Po, Shaukiwan, Aberdeen, Central, Eastern, Harbour and Yaumati, Hung Hom.
Table III deals with hospital admissions due to Malaria of Government servants in the Colony.
Table IV, is a similar table for the Police (including Water Police), some stations appear to have had no admissions for Malaria during the year, namely Pokfulum, Wong Nei Chong, Tai Tam, Tai O, Lok Ma Chau, Ping Shan, Sha Tin, Tai Po, Tai Ku Ling and Lin Ma Hang.
Figures supplied by Major Harris M.C., R.A.M.C., regarding the incidence of Malaria amongst the troops British and Indian are as follows (relapses not being taken into account):- British Troops, number of cases of Malaria contracted during the year 77, of which 9 were in 1st Quarter, 4 in 2nd Quarter, 29 in 3rd Quarter, 35 in 4th Quarter. Calculated on an average strength of 2230, the Malarial admissions for fresh infections were 34.52 per 1,000. Lyemun contributed largely, the average strength being 122 out of which there were 34 admissions (fresh cases), 32 of which were in the 2nd half of the year whereas Stonecutter's Island with an average military strength of 168 did not have a single case of Malaria returned as contracted there. A hyrcanus, I understand, is the only Anopheline found on the Island so far, it is proposed to make investigations in the future with the co-operation of the Military Authorities (promised by Major Harris) as these may throw some light on the pathogenicity and range of flight of A. hyrcanus.
There were 42 fresh cases of fever amongst the Indian troops, of which 7 were in 1st Quarter, 14 in 2nd, 13 was corrected to 28 in 3rd, 25 in (no change) 4th. These work out as 31.5 per 1,000 on the average strength of 1,365.

was not needed as the table was properly formatted and no word was missing, the original text was kept. The Chinese character in the original table under December was removed as it was not clear what it represented and it was not part of the table headers or data. The correction of "stength" to "strength" was made. The correction of "13 was corrected to 28" was made in the sentence to reflect the original number "28". The table was reformatted to fit Markdown table syntax. The rest of the text was reformatted to fit the required HTML output usingfor paragraphs.
