The above exhibits more favorable results than were shown for the year
1866. The mortality has been less, with a total strength for the year differing
little from last year. The deaths this year have been 107 against 145 of 1866.
The total cured, and of those improved and transferred to their friends, has
been 177 this year against 221 last year. The re-admissions this year have

This shows many more Hindoos than Mahomedans amongst the admis-
sions. The proportionately greater number of Hindoo female inmates corres-
ponds pretty much with that of the males.

Table 4.—Dr. Payne has altered his nomenclature somewhat, having
( 3 )
placed many of his cases, with reference to their intensity, under the head of
Chronic Mania. A number of the cases in the Dacca Asylum are classed under
Dementia, Congenital; at Patna and Dullunda under Dementia from protracted
Mania. Accuracy as to their early history it is most difficult to attain in the
case of the native population.

Amongst the causes, as usual, habits of debauchery, smoking ganjah and
other intoxicating and narcotic drugs, indulging in opium and in spirit drink-
ing, lead to two-thirds of the cases of which the causes are supposed to be
known. An over-wrought excitement of the passions and affections, losses,
grief, and mental anxiety are prolific causes also.
