Administration.
1. Dr. J. Roy, M.B., D.P.M. (Eng.), was in charge throughout
the year, except for the period of his leave
from the 3rd April to the 2nd August 1934,
when Mr. A. K. Sen Gupta, Assistant Surgeon, held charge.
STATEMENT No. I.
Population.
2. The number of patients resident at the hospital at the
beginning of the year was 367 males and
98 females or a total of 465. New ad-
missions during the year were 95 (123) and
the total population was 560. To avoid overcrowding, admissions
were strictly restricted to dangerous and long standing cases only.
The daily average strength of the total population, excluding observa-
tion cases, was 370.94 males and 98.48 females, total 469.42. Includ-
ing observation cases, the daily average strength was 375.22 males
and 99.30 females, total 474.52 (460.02). The ratio per cent of
cases " cured " to daily average strength was 12.67 males, 6.09
females, total 11.29. The ratio per cent of cases " cured " to new
admissions was 24.00 males, 15.00 females, total 22.11 (23.58).
Accommodation.
3. The maximum number resident in the hospital on any one
night was 380 males and 99 females (373
males and 104 females). Thus, there was
overcrowding by 36 patients on the male side and the extension of
the hospital is urgently needed.
Discharges.
4. The number of patients discharged during the year was 69
(67) ; 53 were discharged as cured, 6, as
improved, 9, on security and 1, other-
wise. Improved and other cases were taken over by their relatives
before they could have the full benefit of treatment.
Cases under observation.
5. Five cases remained under observation on the 1st January
1934. 64 cases were sent for observation
(including 2 re-admissions). Of these, 41
were certified as insane, 6 recovered during the period of observation,
11 were not certified as they were not dangerous, 7 exhibited no
symptoms of insanity and 4 remained at the close of the year.
Sickness and mortality.
6. The mortality during the year was 31 (25), giving a per-
centage of 6.60 (5.51). The causes of
deaths were pneumonia 2, pulmonary
tuberculosis 1, other tubercular infection 1, influenza 2, acute
mania 3, epilepsy 2, colitis 9, bacillary dysentery 1, entritis chronic

As regards 10 deaths under one year's stay, 8 patients were
received in a bad state of health. Another contributory factor to
the increase in mortality was that 12 aged patients whose ages ranged
between 60 to 80 years died during the year.
The general health of the patients was good during the year.
The daily average sick was 16.83 (21.63). Prophylactic measures
against cholera, plague and smallpox were taken as usual. Twenty-
eight patients were treated for ankylostome while resident in the
hospital and 9.50 per cent were found infected amongst new ad-
missions.
The death-rate per cent for 1934 in mental hospitals in other
provinces in India was as shown below :—
10.19 in the United Provinces, 7.68 in the Bombay Presidency,
7.09 in the Ranchi European mental hospital, 6.60 in Madras, 6.19
in the Punjab, 5.4 in Burma, 3.35 in Assam, and 2.41 in the
