Begisteks and Books. A new register has been brought into use throughout the colonial hospitals, and I have satisfied myself by inspection that it is in every case properly kept. There is no uniformity regarding other books. Case-books should be the rule, and not the rare exception, as at present. Visits of Inspection. My visits to hospitals during the year 1884 numbered 72, and I travelled 6,452 miles while inspecting these institutions and the asylums. I have, &c, Geobge Wallington Gkabham, M.D. Lond., M.E.C.P., M.E.C.S., Inspector-General of Hospitals and Asylums. The Hon. the Colonial Secretary.
