Pulau Jerejak157. There have been no additions or alterations to these buildings. The cornpound has undergone much improvement. Part of the open space in front of the Asylum has been turfed, and tlie whole will be completed shortly. The Eucalyptus trees mentioned in last report as having been planted all round the Asylum, are growing well. i 158. The sanitary condition of the Asylum has been satisfactory. No cases of malarial fever occurred. There were a few deaths from beri-beri among the patients who were admitted with the disease from without. 159. The health of ihc inmates during the year has been fair, the mortality being less than that for 1885. The total number treated has been 197. Of these, 75 died as against 85 in the previous year, giving a percentage of 38.27, against 41.6, respectively; This death.rate, though high, is chiefly due to the cases admitted being in a cachectic, ill-nourished, feeble condition, suffering more or less from extensive iilceration, general debility witli intercurrcnt syphilis, many of them being besides victims to opium smoking. 160., The regular number of lepers drafted during the year from Singapore and Malacca was 44. These arrived at the Asylum on the 8th of January, 1886, One of them died on the voyage, and one on the morning of his arrival on the Island. 161. The gurjon and chaulmaugra oil treatment is vigorously carried out, with beneficial results. Some of tlic patients will soon be ready for discharge. 162. The behaviour of the inmates throughout the year has been most satisfactory, and so much so that the police guard hitherto attached to the Asylum was dis- pensed with in September last, being considered no longer necessary. 163. As the system of keeping up a fishing stake ("blat") for the lepers did not work satisfactorily, it has been stopped, and the Colonial Surgeon in charge has entered into a contract with fishermen whose fishing grounds are in the vicinity to supply regularly fresh fish for the inmates. 164. The water supply has been good and ample. 165. The money realised from the cocoa-nut trees in the compound has been $100 for the year. 166. The rainfall amounted to 110.10 inches. i67.. Regular visits, twice .1 week, have been paid by the Colonial Surgeon. The Superintendent and working staff have given every satisfaction. Report on the Leper Hospital.

AmbohipiantranaEn 1886, les measures d’organisation étant arrêtées, at les fonds nécessaries ayant pu être réunis, la mission décida la création de la léproserie d'Antsirabe et commença les premiers travaux. Elle fut, d’ailleurs, secondée par les habitants et, en particulier, par le gouveneur indigène d’alors. Les maisons ne tardèrent pas a s’élever; le premier village lépreux, Ambohipiantrana, fut inauguré en 1888, et reçut, au début, une vingtaine de maladies. Depuis, la Mission Norvégienne n’a cessé de poursuivre, avec un dévouement de plus méritoires, l’oeuvre humanitaire qu’elle s’est assignée. (GS Chapus, Antsirabe, Passé, Présent, Avenir .

Dinsha Manekji Petit Asylum (Dinshah Manockji Petit Leprosy Hospital)"Rules have been passed from time to time by the Hospital Committee, chiefly with a view to stopping, if possible, patients absconding. On Dr McCalman's recommendations, the committee ruled in 1886 that a leper who absconded should not be readmitted. I found however that the lepers came back and sought readmission on account of the disease becoming aggravated, and that they were frequently in such a condition that it would have been nothing short of cruelty to refuse them admission."

Hangchow Leper Hospital"So far as we know the only attempt at leprosy relief work in Chekiang is carried on near Hangchow by the Church Missionary Society, the expenses of the leprosy relief work being practically all supplied by the Mission to Lepers.
