Kowloon District II-Tsim-sha-tsui.
Chinese Point.
Here it will be noticed that there were no plague cases corresponding to the tail end of the epizootic of 1903.
The absence of known rat plague (except once) during the period from the 44th week of 1903 to the 10th week of 1904 may be accounted for partly by the small number of rats examined from this locality.
During the 1904 epizootic period it is noticeable that many more rats were found in the locality, a considerable percentage of which were infected.
The 1904 epidemic in the locality never assumed but small proportions, but
it distinctly shews as following, in four weeks, the beginning of the epizootic.
