The proportion of sickness to average strength contrasts unfavourably with
last year. The increase is chiefly observable in the cases of primary syphilis,
there being 79 cases out of an average strength of 823.8, while last year there
were only 49 with a strength of 707. Out of these 79 cases, 12 were contracted
elsewhere, so that only 67 were actually contracted in Rangoon. Although the
results obtained are not quite so good as those of last year, they are very favourable
when compared with other stations, such as Madras. Excepting in these cases of
primary syphilis, the good results of last year have been maintained.

There is no Cantonment Sub-Committee for exercising supervision over the
rules. The Town Magistrate is responsible for the working of the rules, while the
Medical Officer is in charge of the hospital.
V.—What special measures have been taken for control of prostitution, and for preventing unlicensed prosti-
tution.
The measures authorized by the Act have been adopted for the repression of
clandestine prostitution. During the year 16 women were arrested for practising
unlicensed prostitution, and all of them were convicted and brought on the register.

G. A. DUNDAS,
Junior Civil Surgeon.
( 19 )
( 20 )
From the Deputy Commissioner, Thayetmyo, to the Commissioner of the Pegu Division,—No. 10-5,
dated the 28th February 1880.
I HAVE the honoùr to forward the report of the Civil Surgeon of this station
on the lock-hospital here for the past year 1879. Dr. 0. Baker was in charge for
six months, and Dr. H. J. Hazlett for the remainder of the period, or during 15th
January to 15th May, and from 6th November to 6th December.
2. The number of registered prostitutes for the past three years is as
follows :—
1877.
1878.
1879.
53
46
44
3. The area over which the rules have effect is about 196 square miles,
including the civil and military stations at Thayetmyo on the right or west bank
of the Irrawaddy, and of Allanmyo on the left or east bank, which are the main
centres of population.
4. The following is the distribution of population in these two towns :—

The system however has practically operated only on the west side of the
river, as the lock-hospital and greater mass of troops are on the Thayetmyo side.
There are only two registered prostitutes on the Allanmyo side.
5. It appears that the number of prostitutes on the roll at the end of 1878
was 19, and 25 were added during the year ; but 16 disappeared from the register,
leaving 28 at the end of 1879, that is an increase of nine, which forms no compa-
rison with the increase in the number of troops during the year of report ; for
the garrison was largely increased on the Thayetmyo side owing to the unsettled
state of affairs in Upper Burma, and European troops occupied the camp at
Allanmyo, known as the " Taraugon camp," where additional temporary barracks
were constructed.

The average number of prostitutes on the register was 23 . 6. The average
number attending the periodical examinations was 19.8. The number reported
for non-attendance was 21, and the number found diseased 50, so that several of
the women probably came in diseased on more than one occasion.
6. The receipts come only to Rs. 143, and the expenditure to Rs. 1,405-11-6.

From the Deputy Commissioner, Bassein, to the Commissioner of the Pegu Division,—No. 22-20, dated
the 11th February 1880.
I HAVE the honour to submit the report and returns of the Bassein Lock-
hospital for the past year 1879.
BASSEIN.
I.—Nature and extent of the hospital accommodation, whether suitable, or any alterations or additions taken
place during the year.
This has been given in former reports. No alterations or additions have
been made. The building is in every ; way a suitable one, and all that could be
desired for its present purpose. It is kept clean and in good condition.
II.—Any changes in the medical charge of the lock-hospital during the year.
Surgeon 0. Baker, Indian Medical Department, held charge from the 1st
January to 1st February, and Mr. Dawson, Civil Surgeon, for the remaining
11 months of the year.
III.—The extent of venereal disease among the European troops as shown by the weekly return.
The only troops in the station is a company of the 22nd Madras Native
Infantry, who arrived here on the 10th April. There was one case of syphilis among
the men shown in the monthly return ; but as this was contracted in India, it of
course does not come under the present heading.
The admissions among the civil population, as shown in the dispensary books,
for venereal disease show a slight increase. By venereal disease I mean the
local form, when the parts exposed to contagion are affected.
The subjoined table for seven years, ending 1879, shows the number of vene--
real cases treated in the hospital—

several of these being re-admitted for the same attack on account of absenting
themselves for over a week.
For comparison, I do not think the statistics of a district hospital like Bassein
are applicable. Very many of the admissions are Natives of India, who bring the
contagion with them in the annual influx of coolies for the shipping season ; only
four of this class pointed out the registered women of this town as the source from
which contagion was contracted.
The Burmese holding no harsh views as to unmarried intercourse can
always accommodate themselves without running any risk of contagion from these
( 32 )
ones, that younger and better looking girls coming among their ranks has con-
-siderably reduced their gains.
Only one Kullah woman was admitted to the register, the rest being
Burmese.
The working of the Act extends only to municipal limits with a population of
22,041. This does not include a floating population.
VII.—What registration fees or payments of any kind have been received from prostitutes.
No fees of any kind are levied.
VIII.—Whether the women have been regular at the periodical examinations ; any remarks on the cause of irregu-
- l a r i t y ; t h e n u m b e r o f i n d i v i d u a l w o m e n r e p o r t e d f o r n o n - a t t e n d a n c e ; t h e f i n e s o r o t h e r p u n i s h m e n t s
awarded, and the amount realized:
The attendance of the women has been pretty regular. Average attendance
at each examination, 21.3.
Two were brought before a Magistrate, one was " warned," and the other
fined Rs. 25 for leaving the station without leave.
The total reported to the civil authorities for the year, 26.
IX.—The arrangements for examining and treating the women of the city and cantonment.
The examinations are bi-monthly, and the arrangements for conducting them
good.
X.—How far disease has increased or decreased among the women ; to what extent it has become less virulent in its
nature as compared with that among the men ; is there any relation between the two ? how far the
admissions among the women are clue to non-venereal affections or to detentions of women during the
monthly illness.
There were 51 admissions into hospital, against 19 in the year previous; but
deducting seven admissions for " under observation," the actual admissions for
disease were 44.
The relation between the diseased women compared with venereal disease in
the opposite sex has already been referred to ; but with reference to the virulence
of the contagion, I feel justified in saying that the disease when transmitted is
mild.
In a case that came before me the female suffered from gonorrhœa, and the
lesion in the male was a soft chancre, perhaps due to filth in the male and to the
woman's constitution being syphilized. It is sometimes hard to detect cases of
gonorrhœa in these women, as they, previous to coming to hospital for examination,
use a strong astringent lotion, and up to the last moment mop up all discharges
with a curl of cotton rag attached to their fingers, giving the vagina a perfectly dry
surface.
XI.—How far dhaies have been employed and with what success.
No dhaies are employed.
XII.—Any information on other matters, and suggestions for improvement of the rules.
None.
