A village elder was always present to see that the patients followed each other quickly and quietly. On an average 30-40 cases were seen each time. Malaria appears to be absent but venereal disease is prevalent. The Government Midwife stationed in this village attended to 108 cases during the year.

540. Sai Kung.-The St. John Ambulance Branch having established a Centre in this village in May, the Government Medical Officer ceased his periodical visits.

New Territories Police Stations.

541. Police Stations were visited at intervals during the year both by the M.O. i/c N.T. and by the District M.O.s. Except at Tsun Wan, the health of the men was fairly good.

542. The Malaria incidence figures showed some increase on those of the previous two years.

543. The following are the malaria incidence figures for the last nine years:—

1925 1,205 1926 877 1927 428 1928 278 1929 265 1930 258 1931 148 1932 135 1933 192

544. 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 in an endeavour to kill any adult mosquitoes which may be present. The men on night patrol are of course exposed to the bites of mosquitoes.

545. This year it was decided to make a trial of quinoplasmoquine instead of quinine as a drug prophylactic at Tsun Wan Police Station, which had the reputation of being the most malarious station in the New Territories. The administration of the new drug commenced in the last week in July and was continued until the end of the year. At the commencement of the experiment, the blood of each of the 19 adults who occupied the station was examined for malaria infection. Of these, 18 were negative and 1 was positive.
