was paid to a clase which may only be regarded nominally as een-dontact carriers. In the event of an epidemic of such great extent as this one a class can hardly be chosen as a represen- sative nonéentact group. It was finally decided that the Victoria gaol, in which no cases have developed throughout the epidemic and having a daily average of six hundred inmates, would offer a suitable source for determination of the number of healthy carriers. The prisoners are, in the main, previous residents of lengkeng and the length of confinement varies from a few days to several years.

In interpreting the results these factors must be consi-

dered. The prisoners are kept isolated in individual cells; there is no overcrowding; sickness is promptly attended to. In

other words, the sanitary conditions in the prison are better

than in a great part of the Chinese community.

The following cultures were made on unlaked sheep-blood,

veal-infusion agar with one per cent dextrose (defibrinated

blood, 1 part; agar 15 parta). The cultures were taken from the

nasopharynx by means of a West swab, care being taken to avoid

contamination with saliva. The plates were immediately incubated

after inoculation. Hach person's culture was made on one entire

plate.

The results are as follows:

The total number of Chinese prisoners swabbed,

Plate sultures contaminated with saliva and

therefore discarded (saliva has an inhibitive

effect upon the growth of the meningcoooous),

Negative culturagi

1. Plate cultures showing no suspicious colonies,

in 74 cases;

2. Suspicious colonies which failed to growth

characteristically in 19 cases;
