During the examination of the Polyzene ores, recently discovered by me in Hongkong (the Platinum Group) I noticed the behaviour

of osmium with nitric acid, which, I believe, furnishes the key to much of the early and later, sickness in the Colony, such as I have good reason to believe caused?-

The abandonment by the Naval Authorities of the site called Navy Bay, at West Point, their first depot.

A

The abandonment of the European Settlement at West Point,

by the Military.

The abandonment of the European Settlements at Wongneichọng and Morrison Hill.

The great sickness consequent upon cutting Wanchai Gap Road, leading to Happy Valley.

The abandonnent of Saiwan, and afterwards Stanley, as Military

Cantonments,

The sickness of troops sent to the Military Sanatorium at Magazine Gap, where the top was peeled off a hill, and

the building placed on the centre, leaving a large area

of disintegrated rock around it.

The abandonment of Poke-fo-lum as a suburban place of residence in- 1862-3,

:

During an indefinite period the chemical affinity of nitre for osmium gradually produced disintegration in rooks impregnated with platinum metalsy sometimes to a great depth. This disinte- grated rook, on being out into, was ready, when acted upon by the hot rays of the sun, at once to produce the poisonous vapor of osmic tetroxide. This is the cause of Hongkong fever, which

poisons by entering the body with the air in breathing.
