thickly populated portions of Victoria or Kowloon. In the outskirts and more open parts of the two towns malaria still persists and in certain rural areas both on the island and on the mainland there is a considerable amount. Further research has shown that here as in Malaya and the Philippines paddy fields and large wet areas on the flat are more or less harmless and that the real danger lies within mosquito flight distance of hill foots and valleys where collections of spring water in pockets, pools or streams form the breeding places of those anophelines which are the most potent carriers.

74. The cases admitted to the Government Hospitals numbered 586 of which eight or 1.36 per cent died. In the Chinese Hospitals there were 1,001 admissions of which 256 or 25.57 per cent died.

75. Among the cases admitted to the Government Hospitals there were 483 tertians, 72 aestivo-autumnal and 3 quartans. The cases admitted to Government Hospitals for the last seven years are as follows:-

1925 1,142 1926 970 1927 670 1928 485 1929 653 1930 535 1931 586

76. The incidence among the police of the New Territories for the same period was-

1925 1,205 1926 877 1927 428 1928 278 1929 265 1930 258 1931 148

77. Many of the Police Stations are screened and every man is provided with a mosquito net. Prophylactic quinine is issued and the living rooms are regularly sprayed with an insecticide to kill any adult mosquitoes that may be present. The police on night beats are of course liable to infection.

78. The total number of deaths attributed to Malaria was 452, giving a death rate of 0.60 per mille population. The lowness of the rate is of course due to the fact that the majority of the population being outside the zone of the malaria carrying anophelines are not subject to risks of attack.
