Now, it is matter of notoriety that there has been re sickness this year throughout the Colony-especially in the European districts-than in any former year within the memory of the oldest inhabitant," exception being made in years of epidemic. We do not know how the mortality statistics have been compiled, nor how they have been dealt with officially, but presumably is not made without reliance on statistica the sweeping: assertion of the GoveThor of the death-rate. When it is con- venient, apparently, these statistics are accepted as reliable; when it is conveti ent they are condemned. Should the be the basis on which His Excellenny builds his assumption of the healthiness of the Colony, we aubroit that any such assumption must inevitably be erroneous. In the towns of England and Scotland the death-rate may be arrived at with a The fair degree of accuracy. There, how over, the population is not susceptible to much daily change compared with Hongkong, the population of which is essentially nomadic, and it is, of course, a well-known fact that the Chinese in variably return to the mainland when The suffering from serious ailments.
