Hazaribagh.—" Cholera visited this district on the 28th March, confining
itself to the northern, portion and never assuming a virulent or epidemic form.
The town of Chattra, the great mart of the division, presented very few cases.
The sadr station of Hazaribagh and Kimar enjoyed entire immunity from the
disease. In the town of Ichak only one case occurred—a remarkable
exception, since in previous years the disease generally originated in this
place and spread over the whole length and breadth of the district."
Lohardagga and Singhbhum—districts both enjoyed comparative immunity
from cholera this year. The total deaths reported in the first being 46, and in
the other only 27.
Manbhum.—" Cholera never epidemic in character, and brief in duration
at any one place," prevailed somewhat " in May and June at the setting in
of the rains."

The strength of the affected jails is 14,123, the percentage of admissions
to strength 2·51, and of deaths to admissions 41. Of the 354 admissions, there
were 4 in January, 1 in February, 29 in March, 46 in April, 29 in May, 41 in
June, 52 in July, 110 in August, 20 in September, 2 in October, 17 in Novem-
ber and 3 in December.
Meteorology—Atmospheric Pressure.—In January the pressure was
generally low except in eastern Bengal, where the barometer was abnormally
high throughout the year. In February and March the average pressure
of the whole areas was as usual, but its distribution was irregular.
In
April there was a fall, but in May the pressure was everywhere in excess
of the average. In June and July the pressure was abnormally low, except
in Kachar. In August it rose above the average, and fell below it
( 82 )
and the preceding month an unusual preponderance of northerly over souther-
ly winds. An excess of westerly winds continued throughout July. In
August the winds became easterly, a change generally characteristic of Sep-
tember, and an indication of the approaching close of the monsoon. In
September the winds were less easterly in the Lower Provinces; to a less
marked degree in the Eastern Provinces. In October, in Bengal Proper and
Orissa northerly winds prevailed to an unusual degree, in Bihar the direction
was from the west, and somewhat southerly. This tendency continued to the
close of the year. The movement of the air in January was low; in March
and April above the mean; in May much below it in the delta and to the
eastward, and above it to the west and in the Ganges valley. This continued
to a more or less extent in July and throughout the rains, the difference
being especially marked in September. In November and December there
was a brisker movement of the air, except at Chittagong, Silchar, and
Berhampur.
Food-supply.—The staple articles of food in the province, as a whole, were
dearer than usual, but prices were not high. No direct connection between the
food-supply—either as to quality or quantity—and any special prevalence of
diseases has been reported.
