7. This table is interesting, inasmuch as it shows that a much larger
number of Europeans resorted to the hospital than in the previous year. An
-other feature of the table is the diminution in the numbers of Hindu and
Mahomedan women and children, and probably this may be due to the successful
working of the out-door department of the Dufferin Hospital.

8. The above table shows that the mortality among the patients from all
diseases was higher than in the two previous years; but if deaths from cholera
be included, the mortality in 1888 appears to have been somewhat less than
in 1887.

9. This table shows as usual a very high death-rate among those treated
in the Campbell and Howrah Hospitals, into which many moribund patients
are admitted, but does not call for any special remark.
