These reports were published by the German Colonial Office for the years 1903/04 to 1911/12 and cover the German Colonies in Africa and Oceania. They were compiled by Government medical officers in charge of health services in the Colonies.<BR>Earlier medical reports were published as part of the annual reports from the Colonies. The report for 1912/13 was being prepared for publication when war broke out and publication did not proceed. A shortened version (60 pages) was published in the Archiv fur Schiffs- und Tropenhygiene vol.28 (1924), Beiheft 1. This journal is available in the Library of the University of Queensland.

The contents comprise statistics on morbidity and mortality of European and local population (if treated by European doctors) with commentaries and case studies: reports on public health: details on the setting up of hospitals etc.: maps of the distribution of 'tropical' diseases (Africa only): lists of articles published by German medical researchers: veterinary reports from the African colonies.<BR>Reel 1 - vols 1-3: 1904/05 - 1906/07<BR>Reel 2 - vols 4-6: 1907/08 - 1909/10<BR>Reel 3 - vols 7,8: 1910/11 - 1911/12<BR>Each volume appears to contain records from 1 April of one year to 31 March of the following year. All are indexed into five major geographical areas. The contents of the first four volumes are listed in these five geographical areas but from vol.5, 1908/09 onwards the indexes are more detailed.

The articles mostly concern Australia, Hawaii and Samoa. Contributor was published by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Salt Lake City.<BR>For other publications by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints see also PMB 110 for Improvement Era and PMB 112 for Juvenile Instructor.
