Report on the Government Lunatic Asylums.
GOVERNMENT LUNATIC ASYLUMS,
HONGKONG, 12th February, 1904.
SIR, I have the honour to forward to you the Annual Medical Report on the Government Lunatic Asylums for the year ending December 31st, 1903.
On May 21st, I proceeded on leave to Japan and resumed duty on August 5th, 1903.
During my absence Dr. W. V. M. Koch acted for me.
I attach Table IX. which shows the admissions and deaths that have occurred during the year, and Table X. the pumber of patients under the respective diseases. The total number of patients admitted to the Asylums was 155 as against 120 in 1902.
The following are the admissions for the past six years:--
1898, 1899,
1900,
1901,...

.120
..155
1902,
1903,
With such a steady increase of insanity in the Colony and limited accomoda- tion I need scarcely add that the Asylums (especially the European block) have been greatly overcrowded during the year.
