27. Saugor Circle.— There was as
usual a comparatively large amount of
sickness amongst the troops in this
circle, and the chief diseases were, in the
order of their frequency, malarious fevers,
eye diseases, continued fever, and rheu-
matism. As compared with 1874 there
was a decrease in malarious and con-
tinued fevers. As regards continued
fevers the percentage of admissions to
strength declined from 19.83 in 1874, to
6.43 in the year under review. The
strength of the troops was 2,843.
28. Hyderabad Subsidiary Force.
— A s i n f o r m e r y e a r s t h e h e a l t h o f t h e
force in this division was below the
average of that of the troops in most of
the other commands. The strength of
the force was 3,030, and the most fre-
quent diseases were malarious fever, skin
diseases, and rheumatic affections. It is
satisfactory to note, however, that there
was a very marked decline in admissions
for fevers, malarious and continued.

29. Northern Districts.— The strength
of the troops in this division was 2,680,
and they were as usual less healthy than
regiments serving in most of the other
commands. The prevailing cause of
sickness was malarious fever, and the
41st Regiment at Cuttack suffered more
from this than any of the regiments in
the circle. Skin diseases and rheumatic
affections were also prevalent.
30. British Burmah.—Fevers and
bowel–complaints were as hitherto the
most serious ailments in this circle.
The fevers were of the malarious and
continued types, and diarrhœa and
dysentery added largely to the sick list.
Skin diseases were also very prevalent.
The admissions for rheumatic affections
were somewhat fewer than in 1874, but
there was a slight increase in lung
diseases.
31. Palaveram Depot.—The admis-
sions, daily sick, and deaths were all
below the averages of the previous three
years. The number pensioned was
exactly the same as in 1874, but there
was a great reduction in the number
invalided for change of air.
