REPORT ON THE
Establishment.
Establishment.—In July I lost for a time the services of the Head Overseer and matron,
of whom I have year after year written in terms of the highest commendation. The
Matron's health had been failing for a long time, and she now became alarmingly ill, so that
her leaving the country on medical certificate was indispensable. It was impossible for her
to travel alone, and under the emergency I was compelled to allow her husband to accompany
her on furlough. Their duties have been discharged most efficiently by Mr. Bancroft and his
wife. A stranger to the work could not be appointed without extreme risk, and though
Mr. Bancroft could not be altogether liberated from the Dullunda Asylum in the day time, it
seemed to me much the best course to secure his experienced aid for this institution as well as
that of his wife for the female ward. Mr. Bancroft has brought to the task all the activity,
firmness, temper, and intelligence, which have done so much for the native asylum, and his
experience as an old and trusty non-commissioned officer of Horse Artillery has been most
useful in the management of Europeans. Mrs. Bancroft's conduct in the female wards has
left nothing to desire at her hands, notwithstanding that having no effective assistance at her
command she has found herself in her new office subjected on occasions to some rough
treatment.
The conduct of the native establishment has been on the whole very satisfactory.

CIRCULAR MEMORANDUM No. 105.
FORT WILLIAM
:
OFFICE OF INSPR. GENL. OF HOSPITALS,
INDIAN MEDICAL DEPARTMENT;
The 26th December 1871.
THE Inspector General of Hospitals observes that some diversity exists in the forms of Statistical Returns
of Lunatic Asylums. As it is essential, for purposes of comparison and compilation, that these forms shall be
uniform, the following illustrations of those which should be invariably appended to the Annual Report have
been prepared. Forms of Registers are also laid down, on which it is believed that the facts required for the
preparation of the returns may be conveniently noted. While the forms of returns now prescribed should be
accurately adopted, it is not intended to prevent Superintendents from preparing and adopting other and
additional forms of returns which they may wish to exhibit for the purpose of proving or illustrating
particular points.
The data necessary for preparing all these Statements for 1871 may not be available ; but as many as
can be compiled from recorded facts should be given; and when any form is submitted blank, a note should
be made of the cause.
The Registers and Forms now required are as follows:—

NOTE.—The results are calculated on total treated. To compare the results with the general ratios on daily average strength or number living, it
would be necessary to take a monthly or daily census of the inmates according to age; but the assigned age of lunatics is so incorrect that to aim at a
computation of this sort would not repay the labor.

APPENDIX.
The "average number living" may be obtained by taking a daily account or census of the number
living under each class, adding at the end of the year and dividing by 365. The total of all the classes
(columns 5, 9, 12, 17, 21, and 25, excluded,) should be equal to the daily average number resident during the
year. The same result may be obtained by finding the number of days each person on the year's register
(among the total treated) spent in each class during the year. Thus A admitted 1st January 1871, and
discharged 31st December 1871, gives 31 days to column 2, 28 days to column 3, 31 to column 4, 90 to
column 5, 30 to column 6, 31 to column 7, 30 to column 8, 91 to column 9, 92 to column 10, 91 to column
11, and 365 to column 12. B admitted 1st January 1870, and remaining 31st December 1871, gives 365
days to column 13. C admitted 1st July 1869, and remaining on 31st December 1871, gives 181 days to
column 13, and 184 to column 14. D admitted 1st January 1865, and discharged 30th June 1871, gives
181 days to column 18, and so on. The number of days noted in each column should be totalled, and
divided by 365. The result would be the average number living in each class for the year. The latter
method will probably be found the easier. Results capable of comparison with other Asylums will thus be
obtained; but unless the number living at each period of Asylum age noted, is given, the results of any one
institution will not admit of comparison with those of any other. Average term of residence is obtained by
adding together the total residence of each person, and dividing by the total treated, cured, improved
and died.
