The number of deaths is unusual for this asylum : the cases were such as must always
be anticipated in an asylum for the insane, and admit of no practical deduction.
The management of the institution is most ably and carefully conducted. Attention is
paid to everything that can increase the well-being and comfort of the inmates, and the
efforts of the superintendent are well seconded by Mr. DeVere, who is a most useful and well-
informed resident officer. The matron and the entire establishment have worked well
during the year.

APPENDIX.
Memorandum on the statistics of the Bengal insane asylums of the 10 years 1863—72.
1. THE following tabular statements exhibit the statistics of the lunatic asylums of
Bengal proper for the 10 years 1863 to 1872. The statements are absolutely correct, so far
as the information upon which they have been based may be relied upon; but as there is
room for doubt in this respect, the figures are not so reliable as they otherwise would be,
yet for purposes of comparison they may be found useful and interesting.
Summary view of
the statistics of 10
years.
2. Table No. 1 exhibits the principal facts regarding the population of the Bengal
asylums for the 10 years—the number of inmates remaining under treatment at the
beginning of each year, the admissions and re-admissions, the total treated, the number
discharged, and the circumstances under which they left the asylums; the number remaining
at the close of each year, the daily average strength, and the daily average sick.

APPENDIX.
Of the total male admissions, 70.94 per cent. were Hindus, 27.64 Mahomedans, 1.09
Christians, and .03 belonged to other classes; and of the female, 71.15 were Hindus, 25.33
Mahomedans, 3.03 Christians, and .48 other castes or classes. These figures show that the
females of the different denominations are admitted in nearly the same proportion as the
males.
Zillahs.
9. Zillahs.—Calcutta furnished the greatest number of admissions—24.8 per cent.
Dacca comes next, with 12.5 per cent.; and Patna next, with 11.1: then follow 24-Pergunnahs,
4.6; Moorshedabad, 4.2; Cuttack, 3.4; Jessore, 2.6; Monghyr, 2.5; Sylhet, 2.4; Burdwan, 1.7;
Mymensingh, 1.6; Shahabad, 1.5; Tirhoot, 1.5; Hooghly, 1.4; Bhagulpore, 1.3; the remaining
districts making up the difference, 22.9. Taking the census report figures showing the number
of lunatics and idiots in each district, Tirhoot stands highest, 10.1 per cent.; next Chumparun,
9.1; Mymensingh, 5.2; Rungpore, 4.9; Chittagong, 4.3; Backergunge, 4; Jessore, 3;
Dinagepore, 2.9; and Sylhet, 2.9. Dacca and 24-Pergunnahs show high figures, but they
include the numbers under restraint in the Dacca and Dullunda asylums respectively.
Trade or calling of
those admitted
during the 10
years.
10. Table No. IV exhibits in detail the trade or calling of those admitted during the
ten years. Cultivators constitute the majority of admissions, amounting to 16.4 per cent.
of the total; but considering that about a sixth of the population of Bengal is made up of
cultivators, insanity, judging from the number of admissions during the ten years among
this class, would appear to be low; the admissions being in the proportion of .006 per thousand
of the agricultural population, and about .001 of the total population. Yet it is remarkable
that a sixth part of both the general and asylum populations should be made up of
cultivators. After cultivators come beggars, 7.4; next follow laborers, 6.5 ; domestics, 6.4;
shop-keepers, 5.1; writers, 1.7, and gowahlas, 1.5. The occupation of 26.8 was unknown.
Housewives would in point of numbers stand next after cultivators (8.5 per cent.), but
as mostly all female admissions are entered in asylum returns as either housewives or
" unknown," it has been omitted from the above list.
APPENDIX.
93
13. Of the total treated, ganja, bhang, opium, and other intoxicating drugs, are
accountable for 33.4 per cent.; spirits, 4.4; grief, 4.1; epilepsy, 2.2; hereditary causes, 2.1;
and loss of property, 1.1.
Of the known causes, the percentages are as follow:—drugs, 65.4; spirits, 8.6; grief, 8.1;
epilepsy, 4.3; hereditary, 4; and loss of property, 2.2.
Of the physical causes, intoxicating drugs and spirits account for 75.7 and 10 per cent.
respectively, epilepsy 5, and hereditary 4.6.
Of the moral causes, grief accounts for a little over the half, 59.3; loss of property, 16.2 ;
religion, 5.5 ; and debauchery, 4.3.
Types of insanity.
14. Types of insanity.—Owing to a change in the " nomenclature of diseases," the
specified types in the old cannot be made identical with those of the new nomenclature;
consequently any statement that might be compiled exhibiting the types of insanity for the
10 years would be misleading if used for purposes of comparison.
Ages.
15. Table No. 6 shows the ages of those admitted; but as this can only be accepted
as a mere approximation, to comment upon it would serve no purpose.

No. 439.
FROM THE SURGEON-GENERAL,
INDIAN MEDICAL DEPARTMENT,
To THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF BENGAL,
JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT.
Dated Fort William, the 7th July 1875.
SIR,
I HAVE the honor to submit the following report concerning the Asylums for
the insane situated in the province of Bengal for the year 1874.
Alteration of forms
of statistical
returns.
2. Since the submission of my report for the preceding year, the forms in which the
statistical returns of these institutions are rendered have undergone modification under the
orders of the Government of India (Home Department resolution No. 419F, dated 31st
August 1874). As compared with those previously in use, the forms now authorized are less
numerous and less elaborate. The figured statements employed for the illustration of this
report have accordingly undergone a corresponding change.
Abbreviation of
report.
No. 900, dated 4th March 1875.

3. In the orders of Government noted in the margin, I have been instructed to condense
the periodical reports submitted by this department, and
prohibited from reproducing in extenso subsidiary reports
submitted by my subordinates. I have therefore in this
report limited myself to questions of administrative im-
portance, reserving for the quinquennial or decennial review, which the orders of Government
sanction, a more detailed and elaborate consideration of matters of general or scientific interest ;
embodied in my general report the information supplied by superintendents, and excluded
the returns furnished by individual asylums, incorporating them in the general statements
and tables herewith submitted.
General
numerical results
of asylums.
Transfers.
4. In the following statement the principal statistical events of all the asylums of the
province are shown individually and collectively. It will be observed that the totals of columns
6 and 7E, representing "total population" and "total discharged," are not a sum of the
subsidiary figures. I have considered it right to exclude from the provincial total of insane
persons treated in and discharged from asylums those who were merely transferred from one
asylum to another. These figures enter properly into the numerical results of individual
asylums, but if included in the general aggregate, they would vitiate the figures of 1874 for the
purpose of comparison with any other year. I have for this reason excluded these transfers,
which were exceptionally numerous in the year 1874, owing to the opening of a new asylum
at Berhampore, from all statements in which numbers representing the aggregate of persons
admitted, discharged, or treated in all the asylums of the province occur. The total of column
10 will also be found not to be an arithmetical total; because the Berhampore asylum having
been open for only a part of the year, its mean population for that period had for the purpose
of a true aggregate to be expanded so as to cover the whole year. In the remarks which I shall
offer below on each asylum, I shall draw attention to any thing unusual in the statistics of
individual institutions. With this explanation, I leave statement No. 1 to speak for itself.
