1. Dengue fever occurred in an epidemic form from April to August.
2. Intermittent fever was unusually prevalent at the end of the year under review.
3. A curious case of reflex exaltation of temperature occurred from irritation caused by the presence of flattened and jagged-edged
shot in the substance of the ulnar and median nerves of the right arm, which was cured by their removal.
Details of this and other cases of interest are included iu the body of the report.
