As the Asylum was only opened for the reception of patients on April 1st, 1876, there were none
remaining from the previous year; but the number received included old insanes transferred from
the Dacca Lunatic Asylum, besides those admitted directly from the different parts of the Province of
Assam, as under:—
Transferred from Dacca
Direct admissions

19. The admissions in 1877 were (inclusive of re-admissions) about half of those of 187G, and
less than half, if the re-admissions are omitted. The diminution occurs in both classes, viz., those who
fftre natives of Assam, and those who are immigrants from other Provinces, thus:—

This diminution depends probably on a grand rush having been made in 187G to get rid of such
useless members of society as those of markedly unsound mind, on the first opening of the Asylum,
rather than to any decrease in the relative occurrence of insanity. This explanation is borne out by
the considerable number whom it has been found possible to make over to the care of friends, viz., 2 in
1870, and 14 in 1877.
20. The average population in 1877 was slightly above that of 187G. The number remaining at
the end of the year was less by 13. No comparison can be drawn between the total population, as the
return embraces only nine months of 1870.
21. The number of re-admissions was 4. In three instances the patients had been taken charge;
of voluntarily by friends or relatives, and were brought back, either on account of acute symptoms
having shown themselves or of the relatives not being in a position to take care of the insanes.
The fourth case was one of acute mental disorder from ganja in the same man, a mahout.
22. The discharges were as follows :—
137(5 (uiue mouths).

The proportion discharged cured was higher in 1877 than in 187 G. The patients were all males,
fourteen were made over to their friends in 1877, against 2 in 1870. Of the 14, 8 were improved and
P »o better; (i were discharged in consequence of the Government order, directing that all harmless
panes should be made over to their friends, if they had any able to maintain them.
Of the 14, 11 were natives of Assam.

The last three cases are those noted by the Judge of the Assam Valley as of such
comparatively frequent occurrence in Assam, in which the deed of violence, committed without any
apparent motive, is the one and only sign of mental disease.
These three individuals, one an unfortunate syphlised Garo, are in all their words and deeds of sound
mind, but, having once committed an act of bloodshed without motive, it is not to be deemed advisable
to set them free, through fear that they should again commit a deed of violence similar to the first.
25. The only female criminal lunatic is an unfortunate deaf mute of apparently limited mental
capacity, but not otherwise what would be considered ordinarily insane. Her crime Avas that of
murder of her stepson.

amount of the water drawn up must trickle into the well from the feet and legs of the
drawer, " and thus the water must be a very poisonous compound." If this is actually
found by observation to be the case, perhaps the use of a pump, such as has been
introduced into many of the Bengal Lunatic Asylums, might obviate it; possibly also
another clue may be found in the discoveries made in the Dullunda and Hazaribagh
Asylums as to the habits of the patients in regard to drinking water, and the frequent
appearance of intestinal worms in consequence. (See pp. 15 and 16 (Dullunda), and
p. 34 (Hazaribagh) of the Bengal Annual Report on Lunatic Asylums for 1876.) The
discovery there made is quite worth following up.
6. Dr. DeRenzy, in commenting on the Superintendent's remarks on the necessity!
for more complete information being recorded on the forms of inquiry, lays stress on the
desirability of always making strict inquiry as to whether the relations of non-criminal
lunatics have, or have not, the means of contributing to their support in the Asylum.
The attention of all District Officers has already been directed to the necessity for making
such inquiry, the orders of the Government of India in the matter having been circulated
for their guidance.
In the case, however, of emigrant coolies in Assam, it is almost impossible that full]
information should be obtained.
7. In conclusion, the Chief Commissioner is glad to observe that due attention is
paid to conservancy arrangements, and that the premises are, as far as possible, kept
neat and clean. The labour of the lunatics on the garden has been satisfactory even
from a financial point of view, and has doubtless had still more important results in
promoting the health of the insanes. The conduct of the lunatics and the behaviour of
the keepers are described as having been good. The Superintendent reports very
favourably in regard to the overseer. Dr. Garden deserves great credit for having done
so much with very poor materials ; he has devoted great care and pains to a very
unpromising problem, and the beneficial effects of his careful supervision are very manifest.

♦
No. 57S.
From—A. C. 0. DETIEXZY, ESQ., Deputv-Snrgeon-Gencral, Assam Circle,
To—The Secretary to the Chief Commissioner of Assam.
IN forwarding the Annual Report on the Tezpur Lunatic Asylum for 1878, I have
the honour to submit the following observations:—
When making my remarks on the report for the previous year, I had not had the advan-
tage of a personal knowledge of the institution as I have on the present occasion. Having
Inspected it carefully on the 17th December, 1878, in company with the Superintendent,
IDr. Garden, and having had more experience of the Province generally, I feel myself
warranted in speaking with confidence on some points on which I felt doubtful before.
2. The site of the Asylum is an excellent one. It is a high plateau, well raised above
the Brahmaputra, and admits of perfect drainage in all states of the river. The soil is a
rather stiff clay, and apt to retain moisture, but this defect can be remedied, and lias been
'to a great extent already remedied by deep drains such as Dr. Garden has constructed.
3. The dormitories are mere bamboo huts, such as the people of the country live in.
So far as concerns health, and bearing in mind the mildness of the climate and the habits
. of the insanes, I am strongly of opinion that these huts are more wholesome than far more
costly buildings would be. They afford sufficient protection against cold in the winter
i months, and in the summer they are cool and airy. The dampness of the floors, of which
4 Dr. Garden speaks, will be remedied by more efficient drainage at little cost.
4. A hut is required for the accommodation of the medical subordinate, who is in
immediate charge of the Asylum.
5. When funds admit, it is very desirable that a substantial fence about 5 feet high
■should be constructed round the Asylum. At present, there is only a very fragile
•perishable bamboo paling, which is not enough to keep lunatics from straying away.
G. Nothing could be more perfect than the cleanliness maintained in the huts, the
latrines, and, in fact, in every part of the Asylum. Among the insancs are man)?- patients
I of indescribably filthy habits, and it is exceedingly difficult to keep the huts occupied by
Isuch patients sweet and clean. Dr. Garden has most skilfully taken advantage of the
j deodorising powers of dry earth to accomplish this.
7. The average population of the Asylum in the year was 40 (omitting decimal
parts). The averages for the years 1877 and 187G being 35 and 34, respectively, shows
; there was thus an increase of 5 over the average of the previous year.
8. At the close of the year, there were 4G patients, classified as follows:—
Natives of Assam
27
Of other Provinces, imported and free emigrants
17
Native nlaco unknown
2
These figures indicate a steady tendency to increase in the population of the Asylum.
[ 1 hey also show how largely, as might be expected, the population is recruited, from the
STATEMENTS.
