The rains of 1865 throughout the Lower Provinces of the Bengal Presidency
ceased prematurely in the middle of September. Speaking generally, it may
be said that no rain of any consequence fell after the middle of the month.
A portion of the Madras coast, to the south-west of Bengal, was also similarly
affected. The total quantity of the rainfall for the year was not unusually
small in most of the districts of Bengal, hut it fell abnormally and out of
time. Much rain fell early in the season before the usual time for sewing
had arrived and when its continuance could not be depended on, while the
latter rains, which are usually expected in the end of September and
October, failed. Speaking still in general terms of the countries on the northern
coast of the Bay of Bengal, it may be said that the rains, brought by the
south-west monsoon, commence earlier and fall in greater quantity and more
regularly to the east, and diminish both in quantity and still more in regu-
larity towards the west, so that the eastern countries are altogether more
humid than those to the west. Rice is the staple of all these countries. And
the same crop which in the more humid districts of the east ripened in 1865,
notwithstanding the unusually early cessation of the rains, was prematurely
cut off in the drier and tardier districts of the west ; the more so as it seems
that in part of Orissa the total fall was much below the average, and the
period from June to the middle of September was especially deficient prior
to the total cessation of rain from the last-mentioned date. (Report of
Special Commissioners on Orissa Famine quoted by Sanitary Commissioner
for Bengal.)
During 1866, throughout Orissa, the average price of rice varied
from 13 sers in January to 5 sers, and even less than 5 sers in August.* * *
In Behar and throughout the Sonthal Pergurahas also famine was widely
spread, and there was great distress among the people. In these parts of the
country it has been computed that during 1866 no less than 135,676 persons
perished from starvation or disease engendered by want."

BENGAL PROVINCE, 1867.

among the civil population of this province in 1867. The army and jail
returns show some of the places where cholera was present in this year.
Among the European troops—total average strength 14,162—there were
altogether 7 admissions and 6 deaths from cholera, giving a death-rate of 14·4

Cholera in Bengal Province during the year 1867.
Lithographed at the Survey of India Offices, Calcutta, November 1884.
( 23 )
The strength of the affected jails is 11,828, the percentage of admissions
to strength 3·07, and of deaths to admissions 45. Of the 363 admissions there
were δ in January, 2 in February, 53 in March, 57 in April, 74 in May, 4 in
June, 49 in July, 20 in August, 56 in September, 9 in October, 28 in Novem-
ber, and 6 in December.
Taking all the figures together, the monthly prevalence of the disease is
shown in the accompanying diagram. The districts shown to be affected by
cholera in 1867 are marked on the map for that year.
From the above returns it appears that the cholera of 1867 in the Bengal
Province was much less prevalent than in the preceding year. In 1866, as in
1863, cholera seems to have prevailed with considerable epidemic force all
over the Bengal Province. In 1867 the disease appears to have subsided to
its ordinary rate of prevalence, at least as concerns its annual incidence, among
the troops and jails in the province.

( 34 )
The strength of the affected troops is 3,970, the percentage of admissions
to strength 0·91, and of deaths to admissions 53. Of the 36 admissions there
were 4 in January, 2 in February, 4 in March, 11 in April, 3 in May, 1 in
June, 8 in July, 1 in August, 2 in September, 2 in October, and 3 in
December.
Among the jail populations, total average strength 16,278, there were
altogether 289 admissions and 119 deaths from cholera, giving a death-rate
of 7·30 per mille of strength. Of the 48 jails in the province, the 31 follow-
ing recorded cholera in 1868 :—

The strength of the affected jails is 12,978, the percentage of admissions
to strength 2·23, and of deaths to admissions 41. Of the 289 admissions
there were 2 in January, 11 in February, 29 in March, 60 in April, 60 in
May, 16 in June, 13 in July, 13 in August, 5 in September, 9 in October 39
in November and 32 in December.
'
Taking all the figures together, the monthly prevalence of the disease
is shown in the accompanying diagram. On the map are marked the districts
which are known to have been affected with cholera in ] 868.
Judging from its incidence among the troops and jail populations, the cholera
of 1868 in Bengal Province was no more than the ordinary manifestation
of the disease in non-epidemic years ; and in point of prevalence it appears
from the army and jail returns, to have fallen to a minimum of the triennial
period, 1866 to 1868, inclusive. This triennial periodicity in the activity
and subsidence alternately of the cholera of this Bengal Province is very
clearly marked in the army and jail returns, as is shown in the subjoined
abstract statement of admissions from cholera among the troops and jail
populations in the Bengal Province for the series of five triennial periods as
taken from Bryden's Tables.

or to fix and determine the causes which affect or influence the inter-depend-
ence of cholera and rainfall.
In Bengal, contrary to the experince of the other provinces of Northern
India, it has been commonly observed that rainfall checks the activity of
cholera. This is a point of very great importance, and requires very careful
consideration in order to understand why the season of rainfall in Bengal
should cheek cholera activity whilst it favours it in the North-Western Provinces,
the Central Provinces, and Panjab, and even in certain portions of the Bengal
Province itself. It is a subject we shall have to dwell upon in another
part of this work, and we may therefore pass on to the historical, portion of
our record without further comment in this place upon the very different
effects of rainfall upon cholera prevalence, or the causes which produce that
difference, beyond pointing to the very different physical conditions of the
several regions alluded to, and the results of rainfall as affecting their several
soils, and the people dwelling upon them.
( 43 )
Gya.—No part of this district escaped cholera in 1869, but the western
portion suffered most severely. The first case occurred on the 8th January
in a village on the opposite side of the river Falgun close by the town of Gya.
In the town of Gya, population 70,000, there were 213 deaths from cholera
during the year. It prevailed more severely in the town of Sahibganj than
in the old town of Gya, although the first is wonderfully clean whilst the
old town is notoriously filthy. No Europeans or Eurasians in the civil
station were attacked. The strength of the police in the station was 375,
in the district 1,031; only two deaths occurred from cholera, and these were
both away from the lines The following is the return of deaths reported
during the year, but the Civil Surgeon believes these figures much exaggerate
the prevalence of the disease :—

Patna.—Cholera appeared in every part of the district, but was not very
fatal. The first case appeared in Patna itself on 25th January 1869. The
first case in the civil station of Bankipur occurred on 12th October, 4 deaths
occurred from cholera, all Europeans in the convent. Among the police at
Bankipur—1,700 strong—there were 26 attacks with 6 deaths. The Mitapur Jail
was affected, there were 16 attacks with 5 deaths; the first case occurred on the
27th March and the last on the 17th April. The Inspector-General of Jails
writes :—There can be no doubt that the cholera in this instance began in the
jail and was not imported from without. The following are the deaths from
cholera reported during the year in this district:—

Shahabad.—Cholera was rife throughout the district, from April till
September ; scarcely a village escaped. It prevailed most severely at Sasseram,
where the disease broke out on the 16th April, 8 persons having died on the
previous night, 30 deaths occurred on the 17th. The Commissioner of Patna
reports that during these two days the wind was easterly. On the 18th
it was from the westward; cholera at once disappeared. On the 20th the
wind was again easterly; cholera re-appeared, and five persons died. In
the native city of Arrah—population about 20,000—the first case occurred on
the 19th April, the last on the 13th September, during that time 263
deaths occurred from cholera. No cases occurred in the civil station. Of
847 police, not one was attacked. The following is the return of deaths from
cholera in this district during the year.
