With regard to the above return, it is necessary to state that the residences
of the patients have been grouped as much as possible, and the streets and
lanes leading into a great thoroughfare have been included under the name of
the latter. For instance, Peter's Lane, Chunam Gulli and Mulangah have
been returned as Bow Bazar; and Burtollah, Amratollah, Sonagachi, etc., as
Chitpur.
It is also interesting to mention that it was ascertained that many of the
European sailors brought to the hospital from the ships in the river, had
never been on shore, and, whatever may have been the cause of the disease,
had not drank any, but the Liverpool, London, or Malta water, with which
their ships had been supplied for the voyage; and that in the majority of cases
these vessels had not been more than ten days in the river.

2. The chief portion of the increased daily average of sick was due to
the great prevalence of dengue during the cold, hot, and rainy months
of the year. The admissions from this eruptive fever amounted to 796, out
of which number four remained over at the end of December to be accounted
for in the report for 1873.

The mortality during the past has exceeded that of the previous year
by 8 . 78 in the thousand, but with this exception, it is lower than that of any
of the other years included in the above statement ; whilst it is 18 . 16 in the
thousand below the average of the seven y ears ending 1871.
4. The concluding figures of the subjoined statement, from which all

Comparison of 3.872
with previous
years.
Sickness and mor-
tality exclusive
of cholera.
When cholera, a constant disturbing element in the mortality of Calcutta
hospitals, is altogether excluded from the account, the excess of mortality of
the present as compared with that of the previous year is only 3'48 in the
thousand ; whilst the death-rate is 9'49 in the thousand below the average of
the preceding seven years.
5. In order to facilitate reference to these facts in detail, the ratios
per thousand for the seven years, inclusive and exclusive of cholera, are here-
with submitted in juxtaposition :-
