Government House, 27.9.02

Hongkong, 27th September, 1904.

In continuation of Mr. May's Despatch No. 592 dated the 30th December, 1903, transmitting copies of a Preliminary Report on Cattle Disease in this Colony prepared by the Government Bacteriologist and the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon, I have now the honour to forward copies of a further report by Dr. W. Hunter and Mr. A. Gibson on the same subject.

2.

You may remember that the preliminary report confined itself to the consideration of what was the disease which all over the Colony in different years and in different seasons of the year had been attended by serious loss of cattle. The conclusion arrived at was that the disease was a form of Haemorrhagic Septicaemia which had no connection with Rinderpest. The report embodied detailed records of the symptoms of the disease but left the important questions as to the modes of infection, curative treatment, and immunity against the disease to be dealt with at a future date.

3.

The present report still relegates to the future the consideration of these questions except in so far as the investigators, from the result they have hitherto obtained...
