I Class Assistant Surgeon, M. L. A. Steele, I.M.D., was in sub-

Nothing of note occurred during the year. The weather throughout
the year was average for the Persian Gulf. There were no epidemics.
The number of in-door patients and out-door patients compared with
those of 1935 were as follows:—
In- Out- Operations,
patients, p itients.
1935 0 11,580 245
1930 l 10,990 108
The slight falling-off of attendances may be accounted for by the
dwindling of the population of Bushire.
Malaria, as usual, was the most prevalent disease and provided nearly
one-third of the total attendances.
