From the above tables it will be found that the total admissions from vene-
real diseases during the year were 153 ; but if 41 cases, which were contracted
elsewhere, be deducted, it only leaves 112 cases actually contracted in Rangoon,
against 132 actually contracted in Rangoon according to the Report of 1879 :
this contrasts favourably with last year. The number of cases of primary
syphilis actually contracted in Rangoon in 1879 was 67, whereas during the year
under review it was 59. The following table contrasts the ratio per mille of
strength :—

Thus, with the exception of the year 1878, it contrasts favourably. The year
1878 can scarcely be taken as a fair criterion, as a portion of that year the troops
were not permitted to go to town, and thus incurred less risks.
During the latter half of the year the number of admissions among the
troops has notably diminished, as may be seen from the following table showing
the admissions each month :

VI.—How far the registration has been efficient, to what class it extends, and over what area.
The number of registrations among the Natives is much the same as
last year, but among the Europeans it has increased very much. Below is the
statement compared with past years :—

Thus the Europeans have increased by 18 and the Natives only by one.
Mr. Thurgood thinks the practice of inspecting the steamers coming from the
Madras coast may have deterred some.
During the year more names have been struck off, so that the number of ,
women on the register on the 31st December 1880 is much less than on the pre
vious year. Below is the detailed statement :—

Thus there are only 417 on the register on the last day of the year, against
476 on the last day of the previous year.
The Europeans are in excess of the previous year, but the number of Natives
is much diminished.
Most of the Native women are Telinga women, all apparently of a low type.
During the year there were a few Burmese, but not so many as might have been
expected. The number on the 31st December 1880 amounted to 81.
The area over which the Act extends is about 22 square miles, and consider-
ing the number of the inhabitants and the area, it can hardly be expected that
registration should be as complete and efficient as it might be if the detective
system was more extensive : at the same time unregistered women know that it
is very difficult to prove them such; but nevertheless, as far as it goes, it must do
a great deal of good in preventing the spread of disease. One may imagine what
would be the case if 400 women were allowed to practice prostitution without any
medical supervision at all ; it has also the good effect of making the women keep
themselves cleaner ; they are at the best a dirty lot, but without any supervision
in their dirty state the venereal diseases would assume the most virulent and
destructive forms.
VII.—Whether registration fees have been levied, and at what rate.
There are no fees now levied on prostitution. Fines during the year have been
levied to the amount of Rs. 1,439-2-0 ; of this amount, Rs. 727-2-0 were levied by
the medical officer for breach of hospital rules and Rs. 712 by the Magistrate. When
I took over charge the discipline was by no means good, and too much freedom had
been allowed to them ; they seemed to think they could do pretty much as. they
liked and use rather bad language. It was some time before they could be got
in hand, and they had to be fined pretty frequently until they saw they would
receive no quarter. Lately they have become more tractable, and only fines to
the amount of Rs. 3 were levied in December for breach of rules.
( 25 )
None;
XL—How far dhaies have been employed.
XII.—Any information on other matters on suggestions for the improvement of the rules.
As regards the working of the Act, some may say it does little good, and that
venereal diseases are still very prevalent, both among the women and also the
soldiers and public generally. Though this may be, there is no reasonable doubt
but that, were it not for lock-hospitals, the disease would be far more prevalent,
and doubtless of a more virulent type, for at present in Rangoon over 400 prosti-
tutes are looked after and treated and for a time rendered harmless women. It
is seldom now that one sees the virulent types of syphilis that formerly existed.
In Rangoon, when one considers the extent and scattered habitations over which
the Act extends, with the small detective agency and the social conditions of the
lower classes, it is easy to see that it is no easy matter to carry out the Act in
an effective manner. I would recommend an increased detective agency. One
inspector, with two constables, is utterly inadequate. It was considered inade-
quate before the area over which the Act extended was increased ; much more so
is it now. I would recommend five under Mr. Thurgood, who works hard and
zealously.
The appointment of Mr. Fonseca as assistant apothecary is a great improve-
ment ; much more care is now taken in examining the women and also in their
treatment. Mr. Fonseca since his appointment has worked well and efficiently,
and devoted much time to the examining of the women. The two subordinates
at present doing duty have been regular and careful, and the discipline is much
better than it was. One durwan is scarcely sufficient, as he has frequently to
leave his post to take letters and to follow some of the women who are sometimes
permitted to visit their homes. During his absence there is no one to look after
the gate, and disturbances occur; besides he cannot watch at night for escapes.
I think another peon is necessary. It is very difficult to maintain discipline in
the lock-hospital among an average of 100 prostitutes.
Expenditure.—The total expenditure during the year was Rs. 14,796-2-5, and,
deducting the fines, Rs. 13,357-0-5, as compared with Rs. 15,140-1-8 of last year.

BASSEIN.
I.—The nature and extent of the hospital accommodation ; whether it is suitable, and whether there has
been any change during the year.
There is excellent accommodation at the Bassein Lock-hospital for diseased
prostitutes.
The building is substantial as well as commodious ; it is very conveniently
situated, and supplies in a perfect way all requirements ; it was built in the
year 1874, and, as it is constructed entirely of teak wood supported on iron wood
posts, it is a comparatively new retreat.
Within the hospital there is accommodation for nine patients ; and apart
from the building, but in the same enclosure, there are matron's quarters and a
latrine. Other servants on the establishment live close by in the dispensary
compound, to which the lock-hospital is contiguous..
The patients are supplied with food, bedsteads, and bedding, a clean and
suitable bath-room, and medical treatment.
No alterations have been effected during the past year to the buildings, and
none have been necessary.
II.—Any changes in tha medical charge of the lock-hospital during the year.
Mr. R. S. Dawson, Officiating Civil Surgeon of Bassein, was in charge from
the 1st January until the 9th May, and Surgeon O. Baker, of the Indian Medical
Department, for the remainder of the year.
III.—The extent of venereal disease among. the European troops as shown by the monthly
returns, &c.
No European troops were stationed in Bassein during the year 1880.
There were two companies of Native troops here, however, for short periods, one
being detached from the 20th and the other from, the 22nd Regiment Madras
Native Infantry, but there was not a single admission to hospital for venereal dis-
ease among them during their service in Bassein.
The following statements give details which are necessary to this report :—

But Native troops on service in Burma invariably seem to enjoy a remarkable
freedom from venereal complaints. Whether they are equally fortunate in India
I am unable to say ; but from the returns published in Burma dealing with their
service in this country, it is a striking fact that they comparatively seldom suffer :
this immunity becomes most marked when contrast is made with. the amount of
disease acquired by European troops living under similar conditions. As an

IX.—The arrangements for examining and treating the women of the city and cantonment.
The periodical examinations take place every Monday morning at the lock
-hospital, where the arrangements for conducting them are excellent.
X.—How far disease has increased or decreased amongst the women ; to what extent it has become less
virulent ; its nature as compared with that amongst the men ; is there any relation between the
two ; how far the admissions among the women are due to non-venereal affections or to detention
of women during their monthly illness.
The registered prostitutes have been healthier during the past than in the
preceding year. Among a total of 48 registered prostitutes, with an average of
28.39, there were 34 cases of disease ; while the corresponding numbers for the
former year were, total number registered, 58 ; average, 25.4 ; cases of disease, 44.
The following table gives particulars on this head for the last three years :—

There was one example of syphilis of marked severity among the women
during the year, but, with this exception, their diseases have been of a mild form.
Among the male sufferers of the Hindoo class treated at the civil dispen-
-sary there have been instances of virulent syphilitic maladies, but in the major--
ity of these cases the primary disease was not acquired in Bassein. Most of the
hospital patients for venereal are natives of India. It is very satisfactory to find
that venereal disease is not on the increase among the indigenous population, and
that it prevails to so slight a degree with them. The jail statistics show how
remarkably free the criminal classes are from the disorder, and it is seldom that
Burmese come under treatment for the malady at the dispensary. When cases do
occur, the subjects are generally youths, not adults. The reason of this immunity
probably finds its explanation in the early and almost universal resort to the
married state, which is one of the national features of Burmese life ; and one of
the beneficial consequences of this practice is that the people, as a race, have very
little venereal taint among them, and seldom transmit the disease to their off-
