VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 15th February, 1868. My Ninth Annual Report, which records the Sanitary condition of the Colony during the Year 1867, bears witness to the steady progress which Hongkong has made during the past ten years. I had proposed to embody on this occasion a historical résumé of the health of the Colony from its first foundation, pointing out as far as possible to what causes might be referred the sickness to which Hongkong was at one time peculiarly liable, and recording the important prophylactic measures taken from time to time by this Government, which have tended in no small degree to bring about the remarkable improvement now experienced. Unfortunately I found that so little attention had been given to recording the statistics of life in the Colony, previous to the last ten years, that no amount of labor would enable me to prepare such a Report as I should desire, or one the accuracy even of which could be depended upon. I have therefore been compelled to limit myself to the prepara- tion of certain tables, to which I shall more fully refer hereafter. But every year I have greater reason to regret that no system exists for the effectual Registration of Births, Deaths, and Marriages. In regard to the Deaths of Europeans this want is more important than at first sight appears, and I think might very readily be obviated by forbidding interments without the production of a proper Medical Certificate of the cause of death, and the duration of the disease &c., somewhat in the form drawn up under the directions of the Registrar General of England and Wales, see Table XXI. These Certificates, handed over to the Colonial Surgeon, would enable him to compile a really valuable and instructive Report, and would cost the Government nothing beyond the paper and printing.
