Cambridge and partly in London, the fee has been raisedto 9 guineas.ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS IN IRELAND.-At

the opening of the winter session of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland the prizes of the previous session weredistributed by Mr. Arthur Chance, the President. In

addressing the students Mr. Chance said that before applyingfor a Poor-law appointment they ought to satisfy themselvesthat the conditions were such as would permit them effi-

ciently to perform their responsible duties towards the sickpoor ; that the emoluments were sufficient to enable them tooccupy a position such as the humblest member of themeiical profession was entitled to ; and that their action didnot weaken, or tend to render ineffective, the legitimateprotests of their professional brethren. Mr. Chance thenproceeded to make some remarks on University education inIreland. He said that a University degree in law did notconfer the right to practise as a barrister or solicitor; neitherdid a degree in divinity confer a right to ordination ;but in medicine, on the contrary, a university degree wasone of the very many recognised portals to the profession.Its possession was usually a substitute for-not an additionto-some other qualification, and its possessor should not beassumed to have a greater professional knowledge than adiplomate of the licensing bodies. Mr. Chance thenexpressed regret that there was no university in Irelandwhich made residence essential for its medical degreesand concluded with some remarks on the subject ofmedical students who, having been educated in Ireland,offered themselves for examination in Scotland or England.The following is the prize list :-Barker anatomical prize(£26 5s.), T.

stated in the report for 1904, forwarded to the Colonial Officeby Mr. W. Egerton, the High Commissioner, that the esti-mated European population resident in the Protectoratenumbered 500, of whom 157 were officials and 343 merchantsor missionaries. In the preceding year the numbers ofofficials and ’’ others " were 159 and 301 respectively. Thenet increase of the European population was 40, there beinga decrease of two under officials and an increase of 42 under"others." The general health of the Europeans was fairlysatisfactory. The deaths during the year numbered 19, ofwhich 16 were attributable to disease and three to accident,giving a mortality-rate of 38 per 1000 compared with a rateof 26 - 08 in 1903 and 27 - 22 in 1902. The chief causesof death were fever and abscess. The invaliding rate forofficials was 114 - 68 per 1000 and for ’’ others " 69 ’ 97, theaverage rate being 84 per 1000. Sickness was most prevalentduring the months of May, July, and October, and thehighlst death-rate was recorded in August and October. Thenumber of invalidings was greatest in July, August, andSeptember. During the year 31,932 cases of disease weretreated, of which 240, or 7-51 per 1000, ended fatally. Theseincluded 250 cases of guinea-worm and nine of small-

pox. None of the small-pox cases terminated fatally. Thenumber of successful vaccinations was 8711, or 2522in excess of the figures for 1903, but these figuresdo not by any means represent the actual number of vaccina-tions performed, as many were made in November underthe new vaccination scheme, as to the result of which

figures were not available at the close of the year. The

sanitary condition of Duke Town was much improved by thelaying out of new streets and the relief of overcrowding.The town now presents a trim and clean appearancewhich excites the admiration and surprise of officials whohave had experience of the malodorous squalor of the

typical Eastern bazaar. The water-supply is excellent and thesanitary arrangements are being rapidly extended und

improved. A lunatic asylum was built in Calabar but

legislation will be necessary to give the High Commissionerpower to confine therein others than criminal lunatics.

Chicken-pox broke out in the Calabar gaol and three deathsoccurred from the malady. There was a severe outbreak of

guinea-worm among soldiers quartered at Calabar and theCross River stations. There is no doubt that the troopsaffected acquired the infection while on active service in theMkpani country about a year before. By systematicdrainage and filling up of swamps much was doneto improve the sanitary condition of the stations at

Opobo, Bonny, Brass, Forcados, Akassa, Sapele, Warri,Aboh, and As-aba. Thanks to improved sanitation, Akassa,once regarded as one of the unhealthiest stations in theProtectorate, has now become one of the most salubrious.The reputation of Forcados, too, is improving, but muchstill remains to be done in clearing it of mangrove swamp.The machinery for estimating the total population or evenaccurately ascertaining the number of births and deaths isso defective that any attempt to give trustworthy figureswould be useless. The number of births registered was153, as compared with 34 in 1903. Of these 91 weremale and 62 were female births, 24 being among aliensand 129 among natives. The large increase is due tothe adoption of the registration system by more nativecouncils. Of Christian marriages 76 were registered,against 57 in 1903. In Calabar district 51 were recorded.The deaths registered were 211 in number, comprising130 males and 81 females. Among aliens 48 deaths

occurred, while the native mortality was 144. Of Europeans19 died. The mortality of alien and native infants underone year of age was 38 and of children under seven yearsof age 66. The general condition of the people is oneof dolce far niente. They are not inclined to look farahead and yet are not content to live from hand to mouth,

a mental attitude which is easily intelligible, although itis discouraging to the Government which aims at theintroduction of a civilisation which will undoubtedly makethe life of the native more strenuous as it becomes moreelevated. The native courts, it is gratifying to find, aredoing excellent work and fostering among the people aninterest in their local affairs. Considering the enormouspopulation there is little crime and, as a rule, the nativeadmits his guilt in striking contrast to the tactics ofaccused persons in other countries. The people are typicalof the country in that they are mentally undeveloped andafford an enormous field for the efforts of the pioneers ofcivilisation. They are free from direct taxation ; they livein comfort and have few or no cares. On the whole theirlot is a happy one.

GENERAL INFIRMARY, LEEDS.-A special meetingof the governors was held on Nov. 3rd to carry into effect arecommendation of the weekly board that Dr. C. M. Chad-wick, whose resignation of the post of honorary physicianwas referred to in THE LANCET of Oct. 7th, should be

appointed a consulting physician to the institution. The

recently revised rules provide that any physician who hasbeen on the full staff for a period of 20 years or who hasattained to the age of 60 years becomes a member of theconsulting staff and retains the right to the use of six beds.Should, however, the resignation of any member of thestaff anticipate these events in point of time it is competentfor a meeting of governors specially summoned and actingon the recommendation of the weekly board to elect suchmember to a position on the consulting staff with the sameprivileges as if he had attained to the position throughlength of service. By Dr. Chadwick’s resignation a vacancyfor the post of assistant physician was caused and at ameeting of the special committee for the election of thehonorary staff Dr. W. H. Maxwell Telling was appointed tothis position.RETIREMENT OF DR. R. R. ALEXANDER.-The

medical superintendent of the London County Lunatic

Asylum, Hanwell, Dr. R. R. Alexander, having completedover 32 years’ service, has retired on a pension. OnNov. 2nd he was presented with an illuminated address, adressing bag, and a silver cigarette case from the officers,nursing staff, and administrative staff. Mr. J. Jeffery,chairman of the Hanwell asylum subcommittee of theLondon County Council, presided and in making the presen-tation spoke of the sorrow which everyone present wouldfeel on the occasion of their losing Dr. Alexander. In

handing to Dr. Alexander the gifts he said : " I have muchpleasure in handing these over to you and I hope you willenjoy that rest and refreshment you have so well earned byalways trying to do your best. The committee and theCouncil have recognised your services by giving you thelargest pension in their power to bestow." Dr. Alexander,in responding, expressed his heartfelt thanks for the kindnesswhich he had received and his gladness that he was to besucceeded by Dr. P. J. Baily. The Rev. W. G. Williams,one of the chaplains, also spoke and after a few remarksfrom the chairman the proceedings terminated.
