A mesting of the Sinitary Board was held Josterday at the Board Room, Mr. E. D. C. Wolfo prasided, and

present Hon. Mr. A. W. Brewin C.M.G. (Registrar General), Hon. Mr. FR. A. Hewett, Dr. G.-H. L. Fitzwilliams, Mr. Lau Chu Pak; Mr. Ng Hoa Sze, Dr. C. Clark (Medical Officer of Health), and Mr. W. Howen Rowlands (Secretary).

TO DESTROY MOSQUITO LARVAR. The PRESIDENT submittal a minute relativo to the introduction of small fish in the waters of the Colony to lestroy mesquito tarras.

The MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH minuted I adrice that a letter be wildrossed to the Superintendent of the Calenta Zoologimal Gar- dens inquiring whether in his opinion other Nulleosis or Hoptochilus Pauchax would survive in this dfimate I AGO to states that the former do not stand cold, while the lafter do not eland, handling.

Dr. Fe3ZWILLIAMS-I would favour not only Kowloon, but that the island pools and reser. voirs be stocked, · Pokfulam bas a suitable part

of the entering stream whers breading could take place. The Aberdosa Mills reservoir has good stream ontering, suitable for oven trout breeding, enl posume the further advantage of abundant natural fooding for area large fish. The fuilnch of former trout oya and fry to da well was due I believe, only to oarelessness.

Hon-Mr. EWETT-Why not put the little" areniuzes into all ponds and resorvoirs.

The VICE-PRESIDENT-I gather that those Ash are rary tinata. It so, it would not be practicable to confine them to the rasorvoirs, as they would escape through the screens on the outlets. This would prevent thoir introduction

into any reurvoir, the contents of which have to be pitaped, as they would find their way into the pumps. It seems to me possible that they aight for their way into the distributing moins, which would be very objreticuable,

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, WEDNESD Y, AUGUST 3011, 1917.

Dr. FITZWILLIAMB remarked that in the et the whole object P.CM.0.'s minute he thought the of the report seemed to have gone astray. The object of the report was not to discover varia tions in organisms, but to settle the question of whether the Pokfulam watershed was suitable or not suitable. He did not see, because ples of the roport were not printed, that that was sufficient reason for the original not being sent down to the Board. It was at the instigation of the Board that the report was made. It eemed to hima poor gous lation, if a man was dying of typhoid, to know that on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays the water in Pokfulam was quite good to drink

Hon. Mr. HEWETT Is this report going to bé okroulated vary shortly P.

The PRESIDENT-I have no information on the abject at present. I.understand there is a report to be prísted.
