Sickness and mortality amongst troops marching.—The only regiments which marched
by road through either of the Army Divisions under my superintendence are the 2nd and
4th Regiments Light Cavalry. The other movements noted in the opening of this section
were made by rail, and the troops were within a few hours beyond the limits of my superin-
tendence. The two Cavalry Regiments were each only one week marching within the limits
of the Ceded Districts, and they had no sickness and no casualty. The death recorded against
the 5th Regiment was in a sepoy proceeding on sick certificate from Secunderabad to
Palamcottah, and was admitted into and died in the Civil Dispensary at Ghooty.
Conclusion.—I do not think it necessary, as it would involve much repetition, to enter
upon the medical history of individual regiments. That can be acquired from the reports
and returns which accompany.
With the exception of the new lines now in course of construction at this station for
one of the two Native Infantry Regiments, I have no changes to report on the accommo-
dation afforded in lines, barracks, hospitals, guard-rooms, and cells, nor in the system of
general conservancy, nor in the health conditions under which the several sections of the
community constituting the Native Army live. I have sufficiently indicated the direction
in which improvement is needed, and in regard to the new lines now being built at Banga-
lore, would reiterate the caution suggested elsewhere that those lines should not be occupied
till the drainage is completed. That the drainage is to be carried out by the Public Works
Department, while the lines themselves are built by contract, and no commencement of the
drainage has vet been made, though the lines are progressing towards completion.
I shall send an extract from this report to the Officer Commanding the Division. The
subject is one of sufficient importance to be brought to the notice of His Excellency the Com-
mander-in-Chief and Government, for if the lines are completed and occupied before the
drains are ready to early offall refuse (sewage) and storm waters, the very object of the new
lines, a dry, pure, and unpolluted sub-soil, will be defeated.
In regard to the reports by Medical Officers, they are a series much more carefully pre
¬pared than in previous years.
