     The numbers on the register at some of the hospitals are so small that there cannot
be a doubt that registration is by no means perfect, and that there must be many women

VII.-Whether registration fees have been levied, and at what rate.

     Registration fees are only exacted at Rangoon and Thayetmyo, at 1 Re. each woman
