river beds are altogether inadequate to carry off the flood. Thus, while the
Mahanadi alone pours down 1,800,000 cubic feet per second in the height of
the rains, the whole of its distributaries in the Orissa delta can only discharge
897,449 cubic feet per second. It follows, therefore, that only one half of the
waters thus brought down find an outlet through the deltaic distributaries to
the sea. The other half bursts over the banks, and sweeps across the country.
" The Mahanadi," as pointed out by Dr. Hunter in his Orissa, " illustrates
in a striking manner the biography of a great Indian river." Rising in
Central India, 520 miles off, it collects the rainfall of 45,000 square miles,
and pours down on the Orissa delta through a narrow gorge just above
Cuttack city. In its first stage it runs on a lower level than the surrounding
country, winding through mountain passes and skirting the base of the hills.
During this long part of its career it receives innumerable tributaries from the
higher country on both banks. So far it answers to our common English idea of
a river. But no sooner does it reach the delta than its whole life changes.
Instead of running along the lowest ground, it finds itself hoisted upon its own
deposits of silt, its banks gradually forming ridges, which rise above the adjacent
country. Instead of receiving affluents, it shoots forth distributaries. The silt
gradually accumlates in the bed and on its margins, until its channel shallows
and its capacity as an outlet for the waters which pour into it from above
diminishes. The same process goes on in every one of the hundred distributaries
into which the parent stream breaks up ; and as the beds grow more shallow,
their total discharging power becomes less and less adequate to carry off the
water-supply to the sea. As the rivers in the delta thus gradually build
themselves up into high-level canals so the lowest levels lie about half
way between each set of their distributaries. The country, in fact, slopes
gently downward from the river banks, and in time of flood the overflow
is unable to make its way back again into the river. The waters stand
deep upon the harvest fields long after the main channels have run down.
They slowly search out the lines of drainage, accumulating in stag-
nant swamps, drowning the crops, and poisoning the air with malaria,
until they dry up, or at last reach the sea. Even in periods of quiescence
the rivers form a complicated net-work of channels, which crawl eastward
by innumerable bifurcations, interlacings, and temporary rejunctions and
divergencies," Besides the copious water-supply, Orissa has a local rainfall
of 62½ inches per annum. Nevertheless, the uncontrolled state of the
water-supply has subjected the country from time immemorial to droughts no
less than to inundations.
The tributary hill states of Orissa, 19 in number, which form the
mountainous back ground of this division of the Bengal Province, occupy a
succession of ranges rolling backwards towards Central India. They furnish
no cholora statistics, and therefore require no description here.

The strength of the affected jails is 12,525, the percentage of admissions
to strength 4.91, and of deaths to admissions 34. Of the 615 admissions
there were 6 in January, 47 in February, 145 in March, 243 in April, 72 in
May, 34 in June, 14 in July, 10 in August, 7 in September, 9 in October,
16 in November, and 12 in December.
Taking all the figures together, the monthly prevalence of the disease
is shown on the accompanying diagram. On the cholera map for 1864 are
marked the districts above shown to have been affected by the disease.
The incidence of cholera of 1864 among the troops and jails in Bengal
Province was considerably less than in the preceding year, but more consi-
derably greater than in the year before that. It more closely resembled in
point of frequency the cholera of 1861. The figures representing admissions
in each year from cholera among the troops and prison populations in the
Bengal Province for the four-yearly period ending 1864 are here reproduced,
with the figures for 1861 added for sake of comparison:—

The figures for the troops include the Europeans and natives. The
incidence of cholera among the troops and prisoners in jails is in no degree an
index to the actual prevalence of the disease among the civil population of
the same localities or districts. Cholera, as has often been observed, may be
raging with great fatality in a district or even in a town without affecting
the troops or prisoners dwelling in the same place. On the other hand, it is
very rare for the troops and prisoners to be affected by cholera without its
being at the same time more or less prevalent among the civil population.

There are no statistics available to show the monthly prevalence of cholera
among the civil population in 1865. The army and jail returns show some of
the places in which cholera was present in this year.
Among the European troops—total average strength 5,050—there were
altogether 24 admissions and 17 deaths from cholera, giving a death-rate of
3.37 per mille of strength. Of the nine stations occupied by European troops,

BENGAL PROVINCE, 1866.
There are no statistics to show the monthly mortality from cholera among
the civil population in 1866.

prevalent in this year.
Among the European troops—total average strength 4,381—there were
altogether 28 admissions and 13 deaths from cholera, giving a death-rate of 4.11
per mille of strength. Of the nine stations occupied by European troops, the

Lithographed at the Survey of India Offices, Calcutta, October 1884.

that cholera, as it came under their observation, had not been propagated by
contagion. They generally ascribed it to local causes, the precise nature of
which we have yet to ascertain. The force and direction of the wind have
not been observed to influence its spread." The Civil Surgeon of Dacca, in
which district the disease was more than usually severe during 1866, and
caused the death of 3,000 persons, remarks : " It is certain that its course
was not directed by the wind but by the Khalls (canals) and roads. " The
Civil Surgeon of Dibrugarh states that the disease moved up to that distirct
from Bengal in direct opposition to the north-east wind."
In the Bankura district the price of rice had been high throughout the
year 1865 as compared with the previous years. In January the price was
25 sers for the rupee instead of 31 or 32 sers, which is the usual price in
that month. In August the price was 22 sers as against 32 of previous
years, and in September it suddenly rose to 15 sers. In January 1866 the
same price ruled. In February a violent outbreak of cholera took place at
Bishanpur, an old and decaying town about 20 miles to the south-east of the
civil station, and early in March the deaths fell to 11 per diem. "When
the cholera burst out, the people of Bishanpur, paralysed by panic and poverty-
stricken to such a degree that they could not pay the cost of burning their
dead, threw down the corpses just outside the town. Prompt measures
were taken for removal of them, and cholera was checked." In September,
however, the disease again broke out in this town, and apparently continued
rife in October. The famine distress extended in a lesser degree than at
Bishanpur over the south and west of the district. But in July the Relief
Committee recorded " there is actually no rice in the Bankura bazar, and the
people are entirely supported at present by the rice which they purchase daily
from the Committee, imported by the Committee from Calcutta. The market
price at this time was 8 sers the rupee. In October the early crop had come
into the market and brought down the price to 12 sers the rupee.
Meteorology.—The Meteorological Reporter for Bengal having only
recently, on the creation of that appointment and office, entered on his duties,
no information is available from his office regarding the meteorological
phenomena of 1866. The following tabular statement is compiled from the
data contained in the Sanitary Reports of Civil Surgeons regarding temper-
ature and rainfall of 1866 as compared with previous years. "The stations
have been selected as illustrating different portions of the large extent of
country embraced in Bengal, and because the observations have been recorded
by the medical officers themselves."
