# APPENDIX C.
## ANALYST'S DEPARTMENT.
Report on the work of the Government Laboratory during the year 1930.
By Mr. E. R. Dovey, A.R.C.Sc., F.I.C., F.C.S., Government Analyst.
The number of analyses performed during the year was 2,888 as against 3,710 in 1929. The increased number of samples in 1929 was entirely due to the very large number of water samples examined that year during the period of water shortage.
The following classification shows the nature of the work done:
