D. LABORATORY REPORTS. BaCT E EtIOLOG LCAL LABORATOR V, Wb I. LI NGTON. Report by Mr. J. A. Hurley, Government Bacteriologist, Wellington. I have the honour to report on the work done in the bacteriologica] laboratory and vaccine station during the year ending the 31st March, 1915. Q In the laboratory the number of examinations made was 5,432. This is an increase of 38 per cent, on the number for the preceding year. The details of the examinations are shown in the attached classified lists. The fees for outside work since the Ist January, 1914, amount to £1,033 Is. The amount outstanding on the 31st March was £348, but a considerable portion of this sum has since been collected. As regards the work done for the. Public Health Department and the Charitable Aid Board, I estimate it, on the basis of the half-fee rate paid by public hospitals and the special fees paid by the Department for similar work, at not less than £700.
