In addition to routine reports, procedures and statistics, several chapters are devoted to cholera and plague surveys and investigations, and one chapter briefly outlines the extent and services of the old quarantine regulations, inaugurated in 1874 under the supervision of the inspector-general of Chinese customs. The volume is an interesting and valuable handbook for physicians who desire information on the subjects presented.
