FROM THE HON'BLE SURGN.-GENL. G. F. A. HARRIS, C.S.I., M.D.,
K.H.S., I.M.S.,
Surgeon-General with the Government of Bengal,
TO THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF BENGAL,
FINANCIAL (MEDICAL) DEPARTMENT
Dated Calcutta, the 31st March 1915.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit for the information of Government
the Fifth Triennial Report on the working of the Lunatic Asylums in the
Bengal Presidency covering the period 1912—1914 together with the usual
Statistical Returns.
2. The report deals with the working of the same number of Lunatic
Asylums, viz., three, as in the previous triennium, but with the identity of one
of them changed, the Dacca Lunatic Asylum which came over to Bengal on
the reconstruction of the Province having taken the place of the Patna Lunatic
Asylum which was transferred to the new Province of Bihar and Orissa.
Wherever, however, figures of the previous triennium have been quoted in
this report in comparing the work of the two triennial periods, care has been
taken to quote only those figures which relate to the three Asylums now in
the Presidency.
3. As stated in the notes for 1912, the rearrangement of the provincial
boundaries, necessitated a redistribution of the territorial jurisdictions of the
Lunatic Asylums, e.g., the Burdwan, Presidency and Rajshahi Divisions
(excluding the districts of Rangpur and Pabna) and the town of Calcutta
were allotted to the Berhampore Lunatic Asylum ; and the Dacca and Chitta-
gong Divisions and the districts of Rangpur and Pabna to the Dacca Lunatic
Asylum for the reception of Indian lunatics. The Bhowanipur Lunatic
Asylum continued as before to be the one to which European and Eurasian
lunatics from all parts of the Presidency were sent ; also those from the new
Province of Bihar and Orissa, until the Government there were able to make
suitable arrangements for the admission and treatment of all the insanes
residing in their jurisdiction.
4. Statement I—Population.—The average number of inmates confined
in the three lunatic asylums of Bengal on the 1st day of each of the three
years of the past triennium was 1,058 as compared with 963 in the previous
triennial period. The average admissions (including readmissions) numbered
224 against 240, and the average numbers of discharges and deaths were 125
and 89 respectively against 117 and 85. Thus the average number of lunatics
confined in the Lunatic Asylums at the end of each of the three years under
report was 1,068 as compared with 1,001 in the preceding triennial period. The
mean strength however worked out to 1,072.23 against 984.73 ; while the
largest number confined in any one night of the triennium was 1,134 as com-
pared with 1,064 in the preceding triennium.
5. Admissions and Readmissions.—The number of insanes admitted
and readmitted into the Asylums during the year 1914 was 162 males and 33
