I subjoin the statements prepared in accordance with table No. 9 of the circular by the
Superintendents of the Dullunda, Dacca, and Moydapore asylums. These I have reason to
believe have been carefully prepared and to be correct. Those of the other two asylums
have either been omitted or erroneously prepared.

LUNATIC ASYLUMS IN BENGAL.
13
Inferences
from
the statement ;
As regards popu-
lation ;
From this it appears that, comparing periods of one month, the numbers living decrease
regularly; comparing quarterly periods, the same circumstance is observable. In annual
periods a similar reduction of strength among older residents is obvious, and this becomes
still more apparent as longer periods are taken. The asylums are thus ever being emptied,
and the large majority of their residents are comparatively short-term residents. The Dacca
asylum shows a larger proportional number of long-term residents than the two others, and
a comparatively smaller number of short-term. This is quite in keeping with the smaller
admission rates of 1870 and 1871, and the longer average term of residence of each lunatic.
As regards events.
When the events of the year are classified on the same principle and reduced to per-
centages of the number living under each class, most interesting features appear. Both the
recovery and death-rates of earlier and shorter periods are larger than those of later and
longer periods. The small numbers in many cases give results which the larger figures of
many institutions or several years would correct, but the general truth is plainly evident,
more particularly when the ratios of the first and second year are compared. It will be
observed that while the recoveries of Dullunda and Dacca show nearly the same relations to
numbers living during the first year, the deaths in the latter asylum in the earlier times of
residence are much more numerous in relation to number living; though the deaths of later
terms—-still in excess—are not so greatly in excess. This statement, if carefully prepared,
affords an instrument of analysing the mortality of asylums which would increase in value
yearly, and suggest a study of the influences operating upon lunatics before and after admis-
sion better than any other statement which could be devised.
Causes
of
mortality.
22. Causes of Mortality,—These are shown in statement No. 8, and the results recorded
during 1871 generally confirm the remarks made in the report of 1870. The total cases
registered under debility and its allied conditions are fewer than in previous years. Dysentery
and diarrhœa together amount to about 27 per cent. of the causes assigned. Brain disease
accounts for 22 casualties. Cholera is rather below the average of previous year, and
phthisis considerably above. Pneumonia is rather above the average, the number of cases
in the Dacca Asylum being remarkable ; and remittent fever is the only other noteworthy
cause. The detailed register of deaths appended to the report of each asylum gives infor-
mation of interest and value. Both Drs. Payne and Wise remark on the greater number of
cases of phthisis. This is probably owing to the greater care exercised in investigating the
cause of death by post mortem examination, and this practice should invariably be adopted
in every asylum and in every case. It is probably also from the same cause that cases
registered under debility and exhaustion are fewer.

Types of insanity.
Fallacy in this re¬
turn.
23. Types of Insanity.—The events of 1871 classified under the various types of insanity
are shown in statement No. 9. 55.2 per cent. of those admitted manifested acute types of
insanity, 37.5 of the total treated had been admitted in a state of acute insanity, against 36.0
of 1870, and 32.3 of 1869. It would be more correct to show the actual phase of insanity
which the lunatics exhibited during the year than to retain as a description of their mental
state the term which was used to denote the mental condition on admission. Most acute
lunatics, if they do not recover or die within the first few months of admission, lapse into a
state of chronic mania or dementia, and it is right that this should be shown, because many of
the cases and results now registered under acute mania ought properly to be shown in the
columns of chronic insanity. Superintendents will be instructed to alter their returns
accordingly for the future.
Recoveries accord-
ing to type of
insanity.
As regards cures, the data noted in this statement show that the highest rates of
recoveries took place under acute mania; acute dementia, melancholia, chronic mania, and
chronic dementia following. The largest proportionate number of persons discharged
otherwise had been admitted for melancholia; acute mania, chronic mania, and chronic demen-
tia following.
Deaths according
to type of in-
sanity.
The death-rate was highest among chronic dements; acute dementia, chronic mania,
melancholia, and acute mania following. This result is remarkable, and not what might have
been anticipated The deductions are, however, vitiated by the circumstance above noted.

LUNATIC ASYLUMS IN BENGAL.
Causes of insanity.
Ganjah-caused in-
sanity.
24. Causes of Insanity.—No cause is assigned in 42.5 of the cases, against 59.4 of last
year, and of cases in which causes are assigned, 95.6 were due to physical and 4.4 to moral causes.
Among the former ganjah again stands pre-eminent. Hereditary influence is only noted in 10
of the 400 cases admitted. Among criminal lunatics the use of ganjah is said to have caused
the insanity of 16 out of 24 cases, for whose insanity a cause has been assigned, and a total
of 65 admissions. The percentage of ganjah-caused insanity is, thus, only 24, against 45 in the
non-criminal class. The percentage of cases of insanity due to ganjah is only 15 among
females. The figures denoting results under each cause are in most instances too small to
bear any discussion. 21.60 per cent. of cases caused by ganjah recovered, against a total
recovery rate of 16.9, while the death-rate among this class of cases was only 5.5 against an
average rate of 8.5. Among spirit-drinkers the recovery rate is nearly the same, but the
death-rate is higher. The rate of cures in hereditary insanity is small, but the death-rate
large; the numbers are small however. It is impossible to analyse more closely data regarding
whose truth there is so much doubt as those represented in this table, but the deductions
above drawn will, it is believed, be found consonant with experience.
