trouble, and 17 from loss of property. In 13 cases the lunacy is said to have
been hereditary, in 11 cases it is said to have resulted from the use of opium, in
10 cases from "fright," and in nine cases from the use of spirits. Eighty-four cases
are supposed to have resulted from physical and 73 from moral causes. Some
improvement was effected in the mental condition of 14 per cent. of the patients
whose lunacy was believed to have resulted from physical causes, and in five per
cent. of those for whose lunacy a moral cause was assigned.
4. The mortality in the asylum was greater than usual, 25 deaths having
occurred in the course of the year. But the general health of the patients was
good, and the average number in hospital was only 5.25, as compared with an
average of six in 1878 and of eight since the opening of the asylum.
5. The total expenditure of the year amounted to Rs. 17,771-14-4, making
the annual cost of each patient Rs. 88-10-8. In the previous year the cost of each
patient was Rs. 90-4-1. Contributions from the friends of patients amounted to
Rs. 424-8-0. Allusion has already been made to the measures which have been
adopted with a view to enforcing contributions in future from the relatives of
patients. A total profit of Rs. 3,150-15-5 was made from the labour of the luna-
tics,—a creditable result considering that the average number of able-bodied inmates
was only 166. The nett cost to Government of each patient after deducting the
amounts contributed by friends or earned by the labour of the lunatics was
Rs. 70-13-3, as compared with Rs. 73-4-0 in 1878.
6. The general condition of the asylum is excellent. The buildings and
grounds are in good order, and careful attention has been paid to conservancy and
drainage. The lunatics are well and profitably employed and carefully watched.
No escapes occurred, and no cases of injury caused by the violence of patients
have been reported. The praise bestowed by Dr. Johnstone on the Overseer and
attendants appears to have been well deserved.

REPORT
ON
THE RANGOON LUNATIC ASYLUM
FOR THE YEAR 1879.
From J. M. JOSEPH, Esq., M.D., Deputy Surgeon-General, Indian Medical Department, British Burma
Division, to the Officiating Junior Secretary to the Chief Commissioner, British Burma,—No. 165-C.,
dated the 9th February 1880.
I HAVE the honour to forward the Annual Report and Statements of the
Rangoon Lunatic Asylum for 1879, duly checked and corrected in my office.
Annual Report of the Rangoon Lunatic Asylum for the year 1879.
Situation and buildings.—During the year under review there has been no
change in the buildings occupied by the lunatics. The site of the asylum has
already been described in my last report, as well as the buildings. The cottages
for the civil insanes have been kept in good order, and all necessary repairs
have been carried out. The white ants are a great pest, and often commit
ravages on the posts under ground. During another year's experience in
this asylum, I consider these detached cottages well adapted for lunatics of a
quiet disposition and not addicted to violence. Being well raised from the
ground, about eight feet, they are freely exposed to the prevailing winds from
whatever point it may blow ; and thus they are well ventilated, and the ground
underneath dry and swept clean, so that, after washing the floors of the filthy
cottages, whatever may fall through can be swept away. For the same reason,
they are removed from all source or liability to dampness, which seems to affect
lunatics very much, predisposing them to bowel complaints. In my last report
I mentioned that an observation-room and cells for violent civil insanes had been
sanctioned by Government: these are now in process of erection, namely, two
observation-rooms, 11 feet by 11 feet, and eight strong-rooms, 11 feet by 8 feet,
within the walls : these buildings are not after the style of detached cottages, but
consist of one long brick building divided into 10 compartments. The building
has a covered verandah in front; and the floor of the verandah and cells is about
two feet above the level of the surrounding ground and well asphalted. Venti-
lation is ample, both above and below. These buildings will soon be finished,
and will certainly diminish the risks of accident from violence.
The criminal cells have been kept in good repair during the year. As I
stated in my last report, the criminal cells were too few in number, necessitating
two or three lunatics being put in the same cell, incurring thereby the risks of
accidents: 28 additional cells were sanctioned, and these are now nearly com-
pleted. The building is made of brick, well raised from the ground, with a good
asphalt floor. It consists of a double row of cells with a passage between, each
cell being 10 feet by 10 feet and 15 feet high. They are well ventilated by a
large barred door, with a semi-circular opening above it and a long grated ridge
at the top on each side.

The daily average number of lunatics during the year was 200.42, being
180.83 males and 19.59 females.
The highest number reached any one day during the year was 211, being 193
males and 18 females on the 25th May 1879. The lowest number was 189, being
170 males and 19 females on the 11th December 1879.
It will thus be seen that, as far as regards the male lunatics are concerned,
the accommodation has not been sufficient during the year. However, when
the cells at present under construction are finished, the accommodation will be
ample.
During the year there have been no escapes; and out of the four who escaped
in 1878, two have been re-captured,—one male and one female, so that really one
insane only remains at large, the other being really cured. The captures were
effected by some of the asylum staff, who found them wandering about in the town.
The female was captured one month after her escape, and the male eight-and-a-
half months after. Great vigilance has been required during the last two months
of the year to prevent escapes on account of two more gates being opened for the
use of the workmen employed in building the new cells, only one additional peon
being supplied by the Public Works Department to watch the criminal enclosure,
but none to the gate opened at the back of the asylum-grounds where the civil
cells are being built.
The total number of cases treated during 1879, as compared with those of the
previous seven years, is as follows :—

necessary to raise the pay of the head jemadar by Rs. 5, 2nd jemadar by Rs. 4,
and the durwan by Rs. 4, as their pay was less than those of a similar status in
the jail, and it was impossible to retain their services or find others. All the
attendants have worked well. The percentage of jemadars to males is 1.10, to
females 10-20 ; male-keepers to males 2.70 and female-keepers to females 10.20.
20. Statement No. XI. shows the amount of profit derived from the industry
of the insanes. From it it will be seen that only Rs. 146-4-0 was paid for raw
material during the year. The net profit is Rs. 3,150-15-5, or Rs. 352-1-9 more
than was obtained last year. The average number employed daily was 162 males
and four females, or a total of 166.
21. General remarks.—The subordinate establishment have conducted them-
selves very well during the year. They have had more to do this year than any
other on account of the new works going on. Mr. Robinson, the Overseer, has
looked well after the place,—the grounds are in excellent order, and the lunatics
have been well looked after by him and been kindly and gently treated. The
attendants also have done their work well, and have been vigilant and careful
during the year.
The new buildings in course of construction will soon be finished, and will
relieve the overcrowding.
