the new Central Lunatic Asylum at Berhampore, however, rendered it inex-
pedient to spend much money on large changes. The names of Medical officers
who held charge of the Asylums during the years 1900 and 1901 were given in
the annual reports for those years. The following officers held charge of
these institutions during 1902:—
Bhawanipur and Dullunda.—Captain B. C. Oldham, I.M.S., from 1st Janu-
ary to 1st June; Captain H. J. Walton, I.M.S., from 2nd June
to 24th August; Captain H. Meakin, I.M.S., from 25th August
to 2nd December, and Captain L. Rogers, I.M.S., from 3rd
December to the end of the year.
Dacca.—Lieutenant-Colonel R. N. Campbell, I.M.S., throughout the year.
Patna.—Major F. P. Maynard, I.M.S., from 1st January to 4th June;
Captain Oldham, from 5th June to 29th November; Assistant
Surgeon Khan Bahadur Asdar Ali Khan, Teacher of Medicine
and Midwifery of the Patna Medical School, from 30th November
to 1st December, and Lieutenant-Colonel R. H. Whitwell, I.M.S.,
from 2nd December to the end of the year.
Cuttack.—Major J. T. Calvert, I.M.S., from 1st January to 10th Septem-
ber ; Assistant Surgen Ananda Lal Bose, Teacher of Surgery and
Midwifery of the Orissa Medical School, from 11th September to
10th October, and Major J. T. Calvert, I.M.S., again from 11th
October to 31st December.
Berhampore.—Lieutenant-Colonel T. Grainger, I.M.S., throughout the
year.
I am glad to record that, in my opinion, the asylums were carefully and
efficiently managed by the officers who held charge of these institutions during
the triennial period under review.

consideration of Government. The average death-rate in all the asylums
for the triennium was 8.73. The death-rate was highest in the Dacca and
Patna Asylums, where it was mainly due to phthisis and lung diseases. It is
satisfactory to find that the death-rate at Berhampore, where the new Central
Asylum is to be located, was the lowest in the Province. Special attention
was paid everywhere to the diet and clothing of lunatics during the past three
years, and various amusements and suitable employment were provided.
6. The average annual income from paying patients was Rs. 15,766, and
the average net receipts from manufactures was Rs. 6,650. Expenditure on
all the asylums averaged Rs. 1,33,103 a year, during the three years covered
by the report, and the average cost of each lunatic was Rs. 135. The mean
cost for European lunatics was Rs. 425, and for native lunatics Rs. 100.
7. The thanks of the Lieutenant-Governor are due to Colonel Hendley
for his report. His Honour agrees with him in the conclusion that the
asylums were carefully and efficiently managed by the officers who held
charge of them during the triennial period under review.
