rate per thousand from malaria is given as .56. In certain areas where the majority of the population reside, extensive drainage has been largely carried out and in consequence there are, as a rule, no facilities for breeding of Anophelines but where such exist, as in suburban and rural areas on the Island and mainland, the occurrence of malaria can be reckoned on where the Anopheline carriers flourish as is borne out by the investigations made in the past.
In Table I figures are given regarding hospital admissions, supplied by the Government Civil, Kowloon, Victoria, Victoria Gaol, Lai Chi Kok Gaol, Tung Wah, Tung Wah Eastern, Kwong Wah, Matilda, Alice Memorial, War Memorial, and the Yeung Wo Hospitals and their relations to admissions for malaria. The malaria admissions are also arranged according to quarters of the year and to method of diagnosis. As malaria is not a notifiable disease, rates cannot be given for the general population. The clinical diagnosis of malaria is not a satisfactory one.
In Table II statistics of cases treated, supplied by the following Dispensaries are shown: Tai Po, Un Long, Western Public, Kowloon City, Sham Shui Po, Shaukiwan, Aberdeen, Central, Eastern, Yaumati, and Hung Hom.
Table III deals with hospital admissions of Government servants (excluding coolies) in relation to admissions for malaria.
Table IV is a similar table for the Police including Water Police. Certain stations are situated in areas where malaria is not likely to be contracted, others in rural areas where night patrol work adds to the risk of infection.
Table XIII gives the results of examinations of blood films for malaria made from prisoners admitted to Victoria Gaol, arranged in districts according to addresses supplied. The parasites are not classified, as in the great majority of positive findings, the diagnosis could only be made from the thick films supplied, and could not be established from the thin films owing to the scantiness of the infections. The films were obtained through the cooperation of the M.O. Gaol and his staff, and were stained in the Laboratory of the Bureau.
Table XIV gives details as to results of examination of blood for malarial parasites in connection with investigations made in the corresponding localities.
Twenty-six children were examined on the Island, none had enlarged spleens. On the mainland two hundred and seventy-eight were inspected, eighteen had enlarged spleens, or 6.47 per cent. Table XV gives details and localities.
