Sixteen cremations of the bodies of Hindoos also occurred during the year.

During the past three years a considerable number of unclaimed bodies has been disinterred from Mount Davis Cemetery by the authorities of the Tung Wah Hospital, the bones being urned and the urns deposited on land set apart for this purpose. The total number disinterred between January, 1902, and June, 1904, was 2,872, at a cost to the Government of $4,228.88. Similar disinterments are to be undertaken at the Mount Caroline and Ma Tau-Wai Cemeteries owing to the pressure on the accommodation at these Cemeteries.
