The following is a list of the various exaininatioiis conducted in the bacteriological 

 laboratory since the last list was compiled for the Third Report. 



The period of work covered is 2 years and 7 months. 



(a) Morbid secretions and excretions .. ... 244 



(6) Blood 714 



(c) Bacteriological apart from (a) 603 



(d) Parasites apart from (o) and {b) ... 1 



(e) New growths . ... . . 53 



(/) Other pathological conditions ... ... ... 176 



((/) Medico-legal ... ... ... . ... 7 



I do not think it is necessary to consider these in more detail beyond saying that the 

 fact that helminths were almost invariably sent either to Professor Looss or to Dr. Leiper 

 for determination in part explains the low figure under "Parasites." Few specimens 

 have, however, been sent for diagnosis. The considerable increase as regards 

 "New Growths" is due in part to the inclusion of botryomycosis under this heading. 

 I do not think there has been any increase as regards malignant tumours.
