(1.) In order to encourage the registration of births under one month old the committee recommend that a bonus of $2 be given to any mother, midwife on person prosent at the birth of any child and who shall register the same within one month. In order to carry out this recommendation, the Births and leaths Regis tration Ordinance, No. 16 of 1896, Section 9(n) will have to be altered to include this clause LOT 1.-The Valuable Leasebold Messuages In C. S. O. 1367 of 1901 the Medical Officer of Health recommended that a fee of 50 cents should be paid the midwives, but it was never carried into effect. This small sum, howevel, we consider inadequate to give sufficient in ducement for the early registration within one month after birth. In order to verify the ac curacy of the midwives' registration, we recém- mend the employment of female visitors, either Portuguese or Chinere, who shall visit each case for this purpose.
On the registration being verified, then the bonus rf $1 shall be handed to the peraun reporting. It seemą more likely that the fee of $z will be an inducement than the paltry sum of 50 cents.
(3) The convent should be required to re- gister at the Registrar General's Office every Admission that occurs in their respective Insti- tntions, together with the death certificate when such or curs of each individual case.
(4.) As the children from the convents are at a very early age housed out to foster mothers, these mothers should also be re gistered either at the convent ur at the Registrar General's Office. Further, these foster mothers should be medically examined before they are accepted by the convents; at present this is not done.

(4) Trismus.-This is the commonest cause of deaths of children under a weeks of age in the two. Convents. The Sisers of the two Convents are very familiar with this disease and are always able to recognise the condition on admission of the child. The great bulk of these cases are in children who are left at the Convent door in a dying condition and often die within 24 hours to 3 days. The Lady Superioress of the Itallan Convent informed us that no cases of Trismus recover. The Chi nese themselves recognise the disease and call it So Hau" or lock Jaw(); they further look upon it as a hopeless disease and as soon as it is recognised the infant is carried off to one or other of the Convents and dumped at the door or banded in to avoid the burial expenses and further trouble and especially as Chinese children under one month old are not recognised as such in their genealogical tree. The symptoms of this disease are as follows: from the 3rd to the 5th day after birth the infint gives up sucking and lis cry becomes a muffled and feeble one. On the 6th or 7th day their jaws become clenched together and no food can be given by the mouth owing to rigidi y of the masseters, Soop after this waves of convulsive spasms, with slight froth ing at the mouth, pass over the child on any movement or touching. This passes on to general rigidity of the body, so that the child can almost be rolled about like a ball. Death soon follows these symptoms. Clinically there fore this disease among Chinese children is indistinguishable from Telamus which has so classically been described in the reports of the Rotunda Hospital where the disease once assumed epidemic proportions. Dr. Hunter rept that bacteriologically he has been unable to isolate the tetanus bacillus in these cases but as his post-mortems are probably all after the 8th or 9th day, it is possible that the growth of the boards of micro-organisms," may have attenuated and destroyed the tetanus bacillus but only after it has done its damage. Farther it is possible that these tetanic convuling such birth after verification of the same. sions may be produced by one or other of these "hoards of micro-organisms" themselves. This is a point which may yet have to be solved.
(Mara mus.--Under this heading the largest number of post-mortem returns are nade of children over 2 weeks. This disease leads Dr. Hunter's list with a total 250 out d 606 post-mortemis in children under two yars, 338 per cent, Apart from heredi tay conditions, the causes of this group of dieases are chiefly assignable to condition of ma-nutrition and defective assimilation. These conditions may be traced a step farther and wood have their origin in many causes. Wagt of chanliness and over-crowding in Chinese dwellings are undoubtedly largely responsible for thee. The crass ignorance and utter dis. regard of all hygienic principles among the lower casses of Chinese, the improper dieting of infant amounting to indirect starvation, and the system of "baby farming" as practised at the Convente, all contribute important factors in the Chinese infantile mortality. At the French Convent from a very early age the children are given oul n tensibly to "wet nurses" of foster-mothers who are never medically ex- amined. A number of these women arr in the constant employ of the French Convent and over whom there is no proper supervision, inany of these nurses do not give the children their milk, but instead rice which they have chew- ed themselves, and also rice cakes. Among the poorer classes children at birth are never even washed, but simply wiped with a coarse Chinese paper and dressed; often as not this paper and under-clothing has been lying on the finor print to use. is a very common sight to see children only a few weeks old being given a mouthful of rice or any other lood that the parents may be cating at the time. Thus the children get food which they are quite unable to digest and assimilate giving rise to a train of symptom of a convulsive nature grouped under the generic term Marat215.
midwives may not have to travel long dis- tances to register the births. At present this register is only kept in certain stations. The bonus of 52 may be given by the officer in charge of these stations, to the person register-

Government Public Mortuary,
Hongkong, 31st August, 1903, Sir, I have the honour, as a member of the Committee appointed by His Excellency the Governor to inquire into the great infantile mortality in Hongkong to submit my report.
2. A considerable number of post mortems on infants and children are held by me annual- ly. In fact about 4 per cent of the total
number of autopsies held at the Government Public Mortuary are on children under 2 years of age.
3. Over $3 per cent. of the necropsies held are on the bodies of children sent from the French and Italian Convents,
(4) Convulsions at the teething period and arising from worms must account for many deaths. As soon as Chinese children can creep, they move about on hands and feet on the floors or streels and pick up earth on their fingers only to be applied to their months. This and the imperfectly cooked vegetables are femile sources of worms. recognise this class of convalsive disease underd around Hongkong. Te-e w.count for
The Chinese
the name of "Kap King" (A2).
In considering this question of Chinese in fantile mortality and in making up statistics, one important factor must be borne in mind, namely, but a large majority, possibly one- third to half of the children dying within one month, have not had their births registered, for, as previously stated, Chinese children are not entered in the "family tree" until they are one month old. Similarly Chinese female children are not entered in the ancestral temale. Before a Chinese child is one month old, it is not even considered as such and is not given a name. For these reasons the high death. rate is more apparent than real. The Medical Officer of Health in his report for 1901 gives the infantile death-rate at 796 per 1,000 after allowing for all deaths under one month as unregistered. We have shown above that there is still a very large number of births unregis tered in the Colony, therefore the figures given by the Medical Officer of Health must be con- sidered as very much over the mark. Further if these figures are compared with the infantile death-rate in Calcutta given at 7486 per 1,000 it will be seen that our death rate is not rela- tively as bad as is apparent at first sight.
RECOMMENDATION AS TO PREVENTIVE
MEASURES
4. The remainder are in the majority of cases found in the streets, foreshores or water
about 45 per cent, of the total number of cases. In regard to sex, there is little difference so far as the total number of cases examined is concerned, The males accounting for 42 per cent, the females for $8 per cent.
6. On the other hand the cases sent from the French and Italian Convents show a great
preponderance of females over mates-65 per cent. nd 35 per cent, respectively.
7. The practice of dumping is carried out as frequently with male as with female children.
8. Of the 45 per cent. of bodies dumped or found in the streets, etc., only 4 per cent, are under 2 weeks of age, while 95 per cent, are over 2 weeks and under 2 years of age.
9. Children under a weeks of age only ac count for 22 per cent, of the total number of autopsies.
蒂
10. Children over 2 weeks of age and under | 2 years of age account for 78 per cent. of the number of post-mortem examinations.

The committee are unable to recommet with in prematurely born infants abour. mend many practical and immediate measures, the 26-31 week, in children of full term inasmuch as from what has been shown through with profuse hemorrhage soon after birth, out his report the first and greatest remedial measure is one which involves the better education of the Chinese, especially the lower classes, to convince them of the necessity of proper sanitary procedure both personal invol- ving cleanliness, as well as in their own house holds. It has also been shown in this report that the bulk of the deaths occur from disease which are distinctly traceable to want of clean- liness and ignorance of the fundamental prin- ciples invoivad in the rearing of infants. This state of affairs, therefore, can only be remedied by the better education of the Chinese through generations. We may point out that, to a partial extent, the means of slightly remedying this mortality is available by the fact that the Chinese women may be admitted for their con- Snement into the Netherole Hospital, but they are apparently unwilling to avail themselves of this, preferring to be delivered by their own untrained so-called midwives at their own houses. There are four beds in the Maternity Hospital attached to the Government Civil Hospital, which are available for free Ghiness
