1926. The admissions which numbered 296 in 1924 steadily rose to 326

The total population increased in 1918 and from 1919 onwards there
has been a gradual but steady decline. If the number of admissions of
military overseas insanes are deducted, the triennial totals for the last nine

The decrease from 4,886 in 1921—23 to 4,628 in 1924—26 is due to
fewer admissions in the triennium under report.
The number of discharges and deaths which were 378 in 1924 fell to
335 in 1925 and again rose to 367 in 1926 and the number remaining on
December 31, 1926, was 1,194 as compared with 1,213 in 1925 and 1,222
in 1924. The daily average strength in the three Mental Hospitals fell
from 1,287.16 in 1924 to 1,220.37 in 1925 and to 1,203.96 in 1926. The
