morphine and preparations containing morphine or its salts, may only be imported, sold or dealt in by persons licensed by the Principal Civil Ledical Officer. The regulations made under the Ordinance forbid licensed persons to supply more than 12

"official" doses at a time or to have in possession

more than 5 lbs. of morphine at a time without the permission of the Principal Civil Ledical officer. Importers before taking delivery must declare the nature and amount of the drug imported. These

regulations have also been applied to coomine; but the provisions of the Crdinance as to the importation of morphine do not apply to cocainc.

Under the upium Ordinance and various

Government notifications issued in accordance with

its provisions during 1910 and 1911, the cxport of morphine and compounds of opium has been rigidly res-

tricted.

Export to Siam and the Netherlands Indice

is only permitted on production of an official

certificate from the country concerned that the mor-

phine or compound of opium is required for the use of

Government. Exportation to Lincao can only be per-

mitted on production of a Government certificate that

it is required for medical use in Macao or for re-

export to a country to which it may lawfully be

exported. Morphine or compounds of opium can only be exported to French Indo China, Japan, the United States

of America and the Philippine Islands on production

of an official certificate that it is required for

medical purposes.

There would seem to be no res

triction on the exportation of cocaine.
