The total admissions from the polico were fewer by 28 than in 1875, a smaller number having come from the Indian part of the foree, viz., 200 instead of 260 in 1875.

The causes of admission were principally affections of the respiratory organs, febrile attacks, and surgical injuries.

The health of the force has been con- siderably better than last year, there have been fewer admissions and deaths, The health of the Indian part of the force is much improved, there have been fewer admissions to hospital from this part of the force by 68, as compared with 1876, and only one death, as compared with the 5 in the past year. The recruite have been stronger mon and better fitted for the climate of Hongkong.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

I have great satisfaction in thinking that the troubles as regards the building of the new Government Civil Hospital are likely to be brought to a speedy termination. The present building occupied as the Government Civil Hospital, though a great improvement on the one destroyed by the Typhoon of 1874, has very serious defects, many of which 1 pointed out in my last Report, but on the whole it has worked mors satisfactorily than might have been expected.

The mortality is very great, as I have shown before, because the Ubinese refuse to go into Hospital till they are at the last extremity, and under such circumstances the best European treatment could do but little good The mortality in this Hospital this year is less than last, being only 45 per cent, as compared with over 50 per cent, as is shown in Table Xa. The total number admitted in 1876 was 1,422, the deaths G40. Many thousand out-patients attend yearly, and are advised and prescribed for gratis, and given medicines when too poor to procure them. There were 1,746 vaccinations performed this year, and this is the one great good done by this-Institution.
