    As regards the supervision of the bathing of patients, we are informed that the Deputy Head Nurse in the female division superintends, and that in the male division the Head Attendant visits each bath room while bathing is in progress, but is not continuously in any. A clinical clerk, who is engaged for three months, has been added to the medical staff. The entries in respect of some older cases in the case books are too infrequent, but in other respects the books are well kept. We are of opinion that the patients have now reached a number which would justify, if indeed it does not require, the appointment of a second Assistant Medical Officer. C. S.
