No. 1265½.
FROM ARTHUR J. PAYNE, ESQ., M.D.,
Surgeon-General for Bengal.
TO THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF BENGAL,
JUDICIAL, POLITICAL, AND APPOINTMENT DEPARTMENTS.
Fort William, the 28th March 1881.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour of reporting as follows on the working of the
Lunatic Asylums in Bengal during the year 1880. I regret that this report
will be less brief than I could wish, for it is necessary again to treat in full
detail the subject of asylum mortality.
2. In letter from the Government of India, No. 300, dated 21st June 1880,
some modifications were ordered in the statements to be submitted with these
reports. Some of these statements will therefore be no longer uniform with
those submitted in past years. The tables in the body of the report have hitherto
shown the work of the asylums separately. These details are now given in
the appendix, and aggregates only will appear in the text. The deviations
from standard forms in last year's report, noticed by the Government of India,
have been rectified with one exception, to be explained hereafter.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
INSANE ASYLUMS IN BENGAL
FOR THE YEAR
1881.
BY
A. J. PAYNE, M.D.,
Surgeon-General for Bengal.
Calcutta :
PRINTED AT THE BENGAL SECRETARIAT PRESS.
1882.
No. 2964.
FROM A. J. PAYNE, ESQ., M.D.,
Surgeon-General for Bengal,
To THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF BENGAL,
JUDICIAL, POLITICAL, AND APPOINTMENT DEPARTMENT.
Fort William, the 10th April 1882.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour of reporting on the condition and progress of
the Lunatic Asylums in Bengal during the year 1881.
2. The figures presented in the first table differ from those of the
previous year so slightly that they call for no special remark.
3. Lunatics in confinement.—On the 1st January there remained in the
five Asylums 881 persons, whereof 684 were male and 197 female. The
corresponding figures of 1880 were 888, 696, and 192.
4. Admissions.—There were admitted for the first time 188 persons in
1881, viz. 150 males and 38 females. In 1880 there had been in all 183 primary
admissions, composed of 141 males and 42 females. The readmissions numbered
25 in 1881, whereof 20 were males and 5 females. The numbers in 1880 were—
total 33, male 26, female 7 ; of these, as will be seen in the 5th table, 13 were
criminals recomitted after trial. No transfers from asylum to asylum were
recorded during the year.
5. Population.—It would appear that no further reduction of numbers
is to be expected from the operation of the restrictive orders of the Govern-
ment of India. The total population of 1881, which numbered 1,094 persons,
differed by 10 only from the corresponding number of 1880 ; the small
difference falling, with one exception, on male lunatics. The mean number of
daily inmates was 870 in 1881, and 881 in 1880. The males were less by 14,
and the females more by 3 in the year under review.
6. Disposal of Lunatics.—The facts shewn under this head are satisfactory.
Though admissions shewed no material increase over the previous year, there
were discharged, on recovery, 93 persons against 73 in 1880. There were
transferred to friends 43 against 37, and of these 41 were in improved condi-
tion. The number of persons who made good their escape in 1881 was 5.
It was 3 in 1880. There were 84 deaths in 1881 against 109 in 1880. Concern-
ing the larger number of recoveries in 1881, it should be observed that,
as the 7th and 8th tables shew, cases of acute mania were much more
numerous among the admissions in 1881 than in 1880. The proportion of
recoveries among this class also increased. It appears, moreover, from the 5th
table, that the number of discharges and transfers among criminal lunatics in
1881 exceeded by 14 that of 1880. The conditions and movements of these
persons, as I said last year, impair the value of tabular statements as records of
treatment and its results.
7. Remaining.—At the close of the year under review there remained in
the asylums 868 persons, 673 males and 195 females, to compare with 881,
or 684 males and 197 females in 1880. Of this total 297 were criminals.
