Bacteriological Institute,
Hongkong, 28th. July, 1910.

sir,
Fleet Surgeon Shaw R.N., acted as Bacteriolo-
-gist from January 1st. to April 13th. As he was only able to
give part of his time to the work, I understand he has no rem
-search work for that period which he wishes to be published.
I took over the Institute and the Public
Mortuary on April the 14th, and during the following two and a
half months have been fully occupied with:-
1.
2.
Reorganisation of the Laboratory which appeared
to be necessary owing to the frequent
changes of hands it has passed through
recently.
Routine work which has more than doubled.
Very little time was left for any re-
-gearch work, but a start has been made to collect and classify
as far as practical the more important flies especially Biting
Flies, Ticks, Fleas, etc., of Hongkong. It is hoped that arrange...
-ments will be made by which the specific determination of
suitable collections of flies etc., will be done at Home and
that a named collection will be made and kept in the Institute.
The investigation of the Life History
of Opisthoreis Sinensis which has apparently engaged the atten-
-tion of my two predecessors here, will be continued using
chiefly the Hongkong cats as they are apparently largely in-
-fected.
I have etc.,
Harold Macfarlane,
Bacteriologist.
