although more space is available, there is an absence of the skilled supervi-
sion which can only be obtained by the continuous presence of a highly
trained specialist. To render it possible to provide such treatment at a
reasonable cost concentration of these Asylums is necessary, and such a
measure has become practicable owing to the fact that almost all districts
are now accessible by railway. The arrangements for carrying out this
reform are already far advanced in the case of native lunatics; and it is
hoped that it may be found feasible to carry out a similar reform in the case
of European lunatics: the matter is receiving earnest attention. Although,
however, the medical officers in charge have had to work under great disadvan-
tages, the Lieutenant-Governor notices with much satisfaction the opinion
recorded by the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals that the Asylums have
been carefully and judiciously managed throughout the year.

with 23 in the previous year. Of these four were Europeans, nine Eurasians,
one an Armenian and one a West Indian. The daily average number under
detention was 38.99 as compared with 39.20 in 1903, whilst the total number
dealt with during the year was 52 against 60 in the previous year. There
is accommodation for 47 lunatics, so that there was no overcrowding at any time
throughout the year. The situation of the asylum is not a favourable one for
lunatics of this class, and its removal to a healthier climate would undoubtedly
improve their prospects of recovery. During the past year three deaths from
phthisis occurred in this asylum, and the total mortality amounted to 15.38
per cent. of average daily strength.
All the asylums except that at Cuttack were inspected during the year
with the results already noted.
The following is a list of the Medical Officers who held charge of the
asylums during the year under report:—
Bhowanipore and Dullunda.—Captain J. W. F. Rait, M.D., I. M. S., from 1st
to 27th January; Captain Clayton Lane, M.D., I. M. S., from 28th
January to 19th July ; Captain R. P. Wilson, I. M. S., from 20th
July to 30th August; Captain Clayton Lane, M.D., I. M .S., from
31st August to 31st December.
Dacca.—Lieutenant-Colonel R. Neil Campbell, I. M. S., held charge
throughout the year.
Patna.— Lieutenant-Colonel R. H. Whitwell, I. M. S., from 1st January to
10th September; Major J. C. S. Vaughan from 11th September
to 11th October; Lieutenant-Colonel R. H. Whitwell from
12th October to the end of the year.
Cuttack.—Major J. T. Calvert, I.M.S., was in charge throughout the
year.
Berhampore.—Major A. H. Nott, M.B., I.M.S., was in charge throughout
the year.
