REMARKS.
* These figures are the sums
of the reported seizures and
deaths. It is however known
that especially during the
early period of the epidemic
the reporting of cases was not
complete and that the actual
number of cases was much
greater than the number re-
ported.
During the period
from the week ending the ist
September 1895 to the -week
ending the 20th April 1897
(inclusive) the excess of the
total mortality of the city over
that of the corresponding
period of the previous five
years was 20,828. After that
period the reporting was more
accurate and the general mort-
ality of the city first sank
below the normal and then
rose above it, owing to an out-
break of cholera and other
causes. Adding to the figure
20,828 the reported plasue
deaths from the 21st April up
to the 27th August (inclusive)
we obtain a total of 21,614 and
this approximates more nearly
to the actual number of deaths
from plague. It gives a pro-
portion of above 2,630 deaths
per 100,000 of the population
accordi ng to the last census.
The accuracy of the calcula-
tion is to some extent vitiated
by the fact that during the
worst period of the epidemic
the population was largely
diminished by emigration. The
Municipal Commissioner of
Bombay made a calculation,
based on total mortality and
the estimated population of
the city from month to month
which Rives a total number
of 25,828 deaths from plague
up to the end of July.

census of 1881,
