Of the 9 deaths occurring among American children, it is a
significant fact that in 5 instances (the mother in 3 of these cases
was Latin-American) the parents resided in Panama City or Colon.
Of the four remaining deaths, where the parents resided in the
Canal Zone, all were due to causes of early infancy, the oldest of
the four children being only 2 days of age at time of death. Such
a record speaks well for health conditions on the Isthmus for chil-
dren, where they have proper nourishment and care.

PERMANENT BUILDINGS.

Construction work on the new buildings for Ancon Hospital is
progressing rapidly. Two large ward groups and quarters for the
superintendent will be erected in 1918 the plans for these buildings
are practically finished. This will complete the building program
and will provide this community with a thoroughly modern con-
crete hospital. It will have a bed capacity of about 700, and will
compare in every respect with the best of such institutions in the
United States.

Staction of venom from this snake produced 0.0038 gm. of liquid
veonm. While securing the venom it was noted that as soon as
te. snake began biting on the edge of the extraction dish the venom
was ejected from the fangs in fine streams of minute volume. The
fresh venom is quite viscid, but entirely colorless like water. It is
neurotoxic in effect. Animals that were bitten by this snake or
Received injections of the venom manifested no swelling, discolora-
tion, or other changes at the.site of the bite or infection, and the
autopsies showed no gross pathological changes. We find that the
Hydrus platurus is the most highly poisonous of any of the Panama
Smsnakes we have studied' to date. This species lives in the Pacific
and Indian Oceans, where it may be encountered in large numbers,
s sometimes being found in schools numbering thousands of indi-
viduals. It is commonly known among the natives of Panama as
the "Toboba" and is very common along the Pacific coast of
Panama and the adjacent islands. It is rather sluggish in dispo-
.tion and does not appear to be very vicious.
. Experiments were also made with the venom of the "Fer-ce-
; lance,'' Bothrops atrox. This snake was 4 feet and 2 inches in length;
the body was rather stout, being about 11 inches in diameter and
with a ridge along the median dorsal line which gave somewhat of
.. a triangular appearance. The head was 2 inches long, 1I inches
.' ide at its broadest part, and rather flattened, being about three-
-.fonrth- of an inch thick and ending in a pointed snout. The tail
Shich was about 7 inches in length, tapered finely to a small tip.
This snake was allowed to bite a guinea pig weighing 410 grams.
It struck the pig with great rapidity and the bite lasted less than
Sthire seconds. Owing to being confined in small quarters the snake
was handicapped in its striking and but one of the fangs entered the

SANITATION,

The zone sanitation activities have been directed chiefly toward
malaria control and antimcsquito work. The infrequency of other

has been such that no extra effort has been required of this depart-

: .. iThe extensive activities of the supply department in clearing
eand for pastures.and plantations which-have made necessary the
establishment of numerous camps outside of the regular seanitated
areas has been responsible for 173 of 473 cases of malaria among

I side of glass plates coated with gum and placed on the west shore

It was established by repeated inspection that the anopheles
Were not breeding anywhere in Colon or on Manzanillo Island. It
IH was proved that the mosqi itoes flew across the Folks River and the
necessity of eliminating the breeding grounds around Coco Solo
was demonstrated.
SOn the initiative of the chief health officer, persons living in un-
screened houses in Colon were reqp ired to be provided with mos-
[ quito nets, which m st be r-sed under penalty to isolate all infected
cases not being treated in the hospital.
Tuberculosis.-There has been an increase over 1916 in both the
I number of cases reported and deaths resulting from tuberculosis.
This high incidence is suggestive of conditions demanding im-
provement. One of these is the overcrowding in the old wooden
tenement ho-ses of Colon, many of them three stories high, on
, both sides of an alley only 3 feet wide. This office is engaged
in plans for a graded scale for widening alleys in proportion to the
height of b. ildings, which it is proposed to put into effect when
these bt ildings are condemned and replaced. It is believed that
the poorer classes of the population are not getting eno: gh of fats
and oils in their food, and a campaign of publicity on the subject is
intended.
The dampness of the lower p trts of these tenement ho--ses during
the rainy season is also a contributory ca'- se, and this will in part bo
remedied by better drainage of certain alleys and the raising of the
floors of these older buildings. The g neral cong. stion in the tene-
ments will be hard to relieve under existing economic conditions,
since the laboring classes are oblig d to pay between $4 and $10 for
a single room and consequently cl b tog other to reduce the expenses.
The best measure to remove these conditions permanently wo: ld
be the opening of a good road from Colon into the interior east-
wards, to enco rage the population to live out in the open and so
remove the congestion due to the limited b-ilding area on Man-
i zanillo Island, while this road wo-Id be a means of improving the
general business conditions of Colon, of increasing the prodt action
of food, of raising the standard, and lowering the cost of living. It
is recommended that the construction of this road through t.he
Canal Zone territory to the Panama boundary line be included in
plans for the Atlantic Terminal of the canal as soon as practicable.
Diphtheria.-There were 23 cases of diphtheria during the year,
a decrease of one as compared to the preceding year. A diphtheria
E carrier was located and kent in the hospital for several weeks until

lies.--The close of the year witnesses an almost i
minimum in fly incidence in Colon. In the early partlof .
an effort was made to economize in the use of lanroaeci ck*e.
custom of using a mall quantity of larvacide on mnecesibteiq
and crevices in the cleaning of patios and premiisswas t
discontinued, with the result of an increase in the numbr i
to the extent that it was decided to resume the use of
before, which soon got rid of the ithe again. This use of

course of the year. The elimination of the old buildings on the
water front, the filling in of holes in the coral rock on other beaches,
which are a harboring place for rats, and the constant killing and
poisoning have reduced the rat infestation in the district, and it is
believed that the reduction is much faster than the increase, with
the probable outcome that Colon and Cristobal may be completely
free from rats when the prospective improvements are completed.
On the completion of the modern cold storage plant at Mount
Hope, the rat-infested plant now in operation at Cristobal will be
eliminated and the building used for other purposes, after it has
been freed from rats by the demolition of Dock 11, which is the
source of rodent breeding in Cristobal. The new cold storage plants
will probably be completed within the next eight months.
Hotels, cafes, and markets.--A new and modern concrete hotel was
built and put into commission in Cristobal during the year, replac-
ing the old wooden building which has been a subject of frequent
complaint of late years. A large new concrete hotel for Colon is
nearing completion at Bolivar and Eighth Streets, which will be a
decided improvement in the accommodations of that sort in the
city.
Continuing the policy of bringing cafes and restaurants up to a
high standard, upon which the health office has been working
steadily since the completion of the canal, several of them were
closed and others made to conform with the regulations. A num-
ber of improvements were made in the public market in Colon, but
it is probable that additional market facilities will have to be pro-
vided for that city before long, and it is desirable that this should
be located on a water front.
Piers and docks.--Pier No. 7 was completed and put into com-
mission during the calendar year. Pier No. 6 is well on the way
toward completion. Pier No. 11 is in the same unsatisfactory con-
dition as previously reported, but it will doubtless be remodeled
as soon as conditions permit. Pier No. 4 has been remodeled and
made available for the use of the schooner trade.
The docks are inspected thrice weekly, and the work of catching
rats is carried on daily, although the improved condition of the
piers has reduced the rat catch to almost a negligible point.
Building operations.-The three large areas devastated by fire
within the last two and one-half years have been almost completely
rebuilt with concrete structures, with the exception of a part of
one block,in front of the Government Palace. In addition to this
many vacant lots in various parts of the city have been improved

QUARANTINE

TRANSACTIONS.

A r6sum6 of the quarantine operations for the year just ended
shows that the quarantinable diseases of plague and yellow fever
have not materially changed, with particular reference to Central
and South American ports. Along the west coast the first part of
the year plague conditions were bad, particularly in Guayaquil,
with a high mortality rate. An ,extension of the disease has
occurred in Ecuadorean ports north of Guayaquil, which has been
made the subject of reports from time to time, and requires very
careful consideration from the standpoint of a farther northward
extension to Colombian ports, which would make the disease
relatively a very short distance from the Canal Zone. So far as
we are aware, however, this disease has not made its appearance
in Colombian ports up to the present time.
In Peru and Chile, general plague conditions have shown little
variation. The infection is very generally disseminated, and no
measures of any special benefit have been carried out for its eradi-
cation.
Yellow fever on the west coast has been more prevalent in
Guayaquil, Ecuador, than elsewhere, though the seasonal increase
of this disease at that port, looked for in the last few months, has
not been as extensive as expected.
In Buenaventura, Colombia, toward the latter part of the year
a consular representative, who also looks after the matter of fumi-
gating ships, has been stationed, which arrangement will be more
satisfactory from the standpoint of shipping between the canal
and this port.
Smallpox has been quite prevalent in Chile and Peru, and has
been reported as having a higher virulence than usual. Since
the first of the year, and even earlier, considerable trade has
developed between Ecuadorean ports and Panama, carried on in
small schooners. Careful watch is being maintained of this traffic,
in order to guard against yellow fever, smallpox, and plague, and
when considered necessary these vessels are detained and fumi-
gated.
On the Atlantic side plague is reported in Brazil, and we suspect
its presence in Venezuelan ports also.
Yellow fever is reported from time to time as being endemic in
certain places in Venezuela, and the shipping calling at Venezuelan
ports is watched on account of both this disease and the possibility
of plague being present. Yellow fever has also been reported in
Brazil and from some of the West Indian Islands. This disease

The work of the veterinarians in connection with quarantine *~j'
