    in which they are here fastened together, contain an abstract of the whole of the evidence on the operation of the Contagious Diseases Acts, at present laid before the Select Committee of the House of Commons. Only witnesses in favour of the Acts have as yet been examined—and only SANITARY evidence was taken by the Committee, but the Chairman of the Committee summarised the objections taken to the Acts in the 4th section on page 148 of the first of these numbers. The second number (January, 1880,) contains also the report by the Army Commissioner of the Sanitary failure of the system in the Madras Presidency, at page 201. The third number (June, 1879, page 125) contains an abstract of the Report of the Government Commission for enquiring into the operation of the C. D. Acts in Hong Kong, and also an important paper at page 91.. All these papers have been communicated, as soon as published, to the Home Secretary, the Right Honourable R. A. Cross, M.P.j and to the Members of the House of Commons.
