despatched samples of their Fluids for examination.

In June, 1906, a trial instituted by the Sanitary Board showed that the disinfectant Cyllin was on the basis of its carbolic acid co-efficient cheaper than either Jeyes Fluid or Snowdol. The use of Cyllin was therefore introduced by Dr. J. T. Clark and continued up to the time that the Principal Civil Medical Officer returned to the Colony in September last when Jeyes Fluid was again used, Dr. Atkinson preferring it to either Cyllin or Snowdol owing to its mixing more readily with water, a fact of importance seeing that the disinfectant is handled by Chinese coolies.

The above facts explain why this Government did not entertain Messrs. Snowdon Sons and Company's application for orders of their disinfectants.

With reference to the second paragraph of Your Lordship's Despatch, I enclose a copy of a letter addressed to this Government by the Crown Agents on the 15th August, 1902, in which the relative prices of disinfectants purchased in this Colony and in England are compared.
