The death rate in Hong- kong is hetween 22 and 23 per thousand, and having regard to the character of the population, in which there is such a large preponderance of adult males, puo would expect to find a much larger difference between the death rate of Hongkong and Canton, where the proportion of women and children to the total population is normal, than six per thousand. If Dr. CLARK'S estimate be anywhere near the mark; then Canton when free of the plugne must be a much more healthy city than is generally supposed, almost as healthy, in fact, as Liverpool or Dublin, in both of which towns the death rate is over 28 per thousand.
