per mille which is considerably higher than the average of recent years owing to Plague, the typhoon of September last and the disastrous burning of the Steamship "Hankow".

The death rate among the Chinese community was 26.41 per mille and among the non-Chinese population (including the Army and Navy) 14.02 per mille.

The actual death rate in the Colony is, however, an untrustworthy index of the Public Health for the reason that a very large proportion of both the Chinese and non-Chinese population leaves the Colony in the event of serious illness. Especially is this the case with the Chinese who dread death in a foreign country.

6.

The total number of deaths from Malarial Fever during 1906 was 448-against 287 in 1905 the highest number recorded since 1901. The Principal Civil Medical Officer is inclined to attribute this recrudescence of the disease, in spite of continual efforts for its prevention, to the abnormal number of wet days during the year.

Full particulars of the measures taken to eradicate Malarial Fever are given in the report in accordance with the request contained in Your Lordship's Circular
