Control is still essential as the infection rate remains high in rural areas which cannot be freed from breeding places for economic reasons.

10. The number of deaths recorded from malaria in 1938 is 733; this number includes two deaths from malaria among the Forces of the Crown. No case of blackwater fever was recorded.

11. Nine cases of filariasis and five of dengue were reported during the year. It is clear, therefore, that the incidence of mosquito-borne disease in Hong Kong is not excessively high. The whole subject is dealt with in greater detail in the Report of Malaria Bureau in "Section IX, Scientific."

(i) Plague.

(b) Infectious Diseases.
