602. Considering the reputation of the locality the figures are very satisfactory. There can be no doubt that the health precautions taken were largely responsible for the favourable results.

Births and Deaths Registration.

603. Early in 1932 arrangements were made whereby the Police Stations became the registry offices for Births and Deaths. It was decided to avoid prosecutions at first and to rely on propaganda and persuasion. At the end of the year it was found that the results in the large island villages of Cheung Chau and Tai O were good, in Tsun Wan the Southern District mainland village they were only middling while in the Northern District they were very poor. On the advice of the District Officers it was decided to prosecute in cases of default. After one or two prosecutions passive resistance for the most part disappeared.

604. The total number of births registered in the New Territories during 1933 was 3,380 as compared with 587 in 1932. With regard to deaths the numbers were 1,370 and 310 respectively.

605. Next year registration in the New Territories should be sufficiently complete to allow of the calculation of birth and death rates for this area. This has been impossible hitherto,
