THE YAU-MA-TI PUBLIC MORTUARY.
This Mortuary was built in 1902, but was not used until this year, when on May 22nd there was begun here the post-mortem examination of bodies from this side of the harbour.
The work was at first carried on by Dr. KEYT of the Medical Department and latterly by Dr. MACFARLANE, Assistant Medical Officer of Health at Kowloon.
Appended is the report from Dr. MACFARLANE on the number of post- mortems performed in the Mortuary during the year.
I have, &c.,
