Surgeon-Major C. R. G. Parker,
Surgeon P. R. Martin, M.D.,
the last-named of whom reports as follows :—
Climate of the station.—The climate of Vellore was as usual warm. The annual rainfall
was of the normal quantity, and the seasons considered favorable. The climate of Calcutta
during the latter end of the past month was said to be colder than usually experienced at that
period.
If regiment has been on the march.— The regiment left Vellore by train to Madras, where it
embarked on the 21st November 1878 and reached Calcutta on the 25th idem, disembarked and
marched to Alipore barracks on the 26th idem.
Position of barracks.— The barracks are situated on level ground close to Native habitations.
The place is not considered unhealthy. The rooms afford ample space and ventilation.

tion for dearness of rice.

of the regiment at this station.
Foot-soreness.— Occasional cases of foot-soreness have occurred, but not to any important
degree.
Duty and exercises.—The guard duties are rather heavy at this station. The drills and
military exercises are not excessive. No prejudicial effect on the health of the men has been
observed, Number of nights in bed 4.86.

The following officers were in medical charge of this corps during the year :
Surgeon H. Allison, M.D.,
Surgeon J. Hunter,
Surgeon H. G. Archdall,
the last-named of whom reports as below :—
Climate of the station.— The rainfall has been above the average during the year, in conse-
quence of which the number of admissions for fevers of various types has been greater than that
of preceding years.
If regiment has been on the march.— The regiment marched from French Rocks 5th December,
reached Bangalore 11th December 1878, left the latter place by train for Mooltan 13th December,
in which station it was on the 31st December 1878. On the march from the French Rocks to
Bangalore the men suffered considerably from fever, so much so that I was obliged to recommend
the Commandant to halt for a day at Mandur, two marches out from the Rocks.
Ventilation and drainage.—The drainage of the lines at Mooltan is fairly good, the usual
open nullahs. Ventilation sufficient, or I should say more than sufficient for Madras troops.
Ventilation
and drainage.
Water-supply.— The water-supply at French Rocks and Mooltan was said to be sufficient and
pure. No recommendation necessary.
Sanitary arrangements.— The sanitary arrangements on the whole have been well attended
to, and I am not aware of any local cause of disease requiring removal.
Diet.—The prices of provisions of all sorts have been very high at the Rocks during the past
year. Vegetables have, on the whole, been abundant. At the other stations I cannot afford any
information. The troops have received compensation on account of dearness of provisions. The
dieting could not be said to have been sufficiently nutritive or varied to preserve health, but it must
be taken into consideration that this has been an exceptional year.
