In forwarding the ae- companying report on Venereal Diseases for information of the Commander-in-Chief, I find it

very difficult to render an ade quate idea of the alarming di- mensions these diseases have ae quired. I have therefore restricted the report to fresh cases which have been contracted at Hongkong

treatment during the last eleven weeks (1st Jany. to 16th Mar 96). The re- turn applies to this ship only, and

all chronic cases have been ex- cluded.

Captain Spencer H. M. Login, R.M.,
