WOMEN AND CHILDREN OF EUROPEAN
REGIMENTS, 1871.
2. NATIVE TROOPS, 1871.
The regimental strengths upon which the actual death-rate for the year is calculated, are
taken as at 1st January. The difference between the strength of January and December is 248
only, the strength on the 1st January having been 44,477, and on the 31st December 44,725.
The death-rates may, therefore, be calculated with approximate accuracy on the strength with
which regiments commenced the year. The total deaths, absent and present, amount to 792,
and this number, with a strength of 44,477, represents a loss of 17.81 per 1,000. The deaths of
men present with their regiments amounted to 592, giving a ratio of 15.04 in relation to a
strength of 39,379, the average present during the year.
