It will be observed from the above that except at Hyderabad the cost per
head is less in each of the Asylums than it was in the previous year. The
decrease is due to the daily average strength being more than in 1888, change in
dietary, the increase in the sum received from paying patients, and also to saving
in cost of superintendence.
Statement No. X shows the sanctioned establishment of the Asylums. The
monthly cost was Rs. 3,854 as compared with Rs. 4,104 in the previous year,
the decrease being due to the reduced allowances of Superintendents at Dhárwár
and Ahmedabad.
Statement No. XI shows receipts and expenditure on account of manufac-
tures. About half the daily average strength was employed in various occupa-
tions, the others being unable for various reasons to perform any work. The
total credits amounted to Rs. 6,347 and debits to Rs. 2,293, giving Rs. 4,054 as
excess of credits or profits. The net profit was Rs.4,109 against Rs. 4,059
in 1888.
Statement No. XII gives the condition of the Asylum population as
to caste, sex and marriage. This statement is summarized in the following
tables:—

Statement No. XIII gives particulars regarding criminal insanes. The
nature of crimes were theft 25, culpable homicide amounting to murder 56,
culpable homicide not amounting to murder 5, attempted suicide 7, voluntarily
causing grievous hurt 12, house-breaking 4, mischief and assault 9, and miscella-
neous offences 13.
6. The official Visitors of the Asylums have attended regularly.
7. I inspected the Colába, Poona, Ratnágiri and Dhárwár Asylums and was
well satisfied with all. The Superintendents take a great interest in their work,
the insanes are well cared for, and the buildings and grounds were all in good
order. Deputy Surgeon-General Turnbull reported favourably of his inspection
of the Sir Cowasji Jehangir Asylum in Sind.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
J. PINKERTON, M.D.,
Surgeon-General
with the Government of Bombay.

Report on the Lunatic Asylums in the Bombay Presidency for 1889.
No. 2941 OF 1890.
GENERAL DEPARTMENT.
Bombay Castle, 25th July 1890.
Letter from the Surgeon General with the Government of Bombay No. S.B.—162, dated
31st March 1890—Submitting the Annual Administration and Progress Report on the
Lunatic Asylums in the Bombay Presidency for the year 1889.
RESOLUTION.—A satisfactory increase in the receipts from paying patients
at Colába, and to some extent also at Ahmedabad ; a general reduction, except
at Hyderabad, in the net cost per head of the insanes; and the provision of
accommodation for 18 additional insanes at Poona and 3 at Dhárwár, were the
chief features of the year under review. The Surgeon General's report contains
the usual statistical information, on which no special comment appears necessary.
The management of all the asylums was satisfactory.

The receipts from paying patients amounted to Rs. 16,076, or Rs. 3,848 more
over the previous year. This increase was mainly at Colába and Ahmedabad.
Rs. 119 were received on account of sale of unserviceable articles, and remitted
to the Government Treasury. Deducting the amount remitted to the Treasury
on account of paying patients and sale of unserviceable articles, &c., from the
sum of the amounts received from the Treasury, adjusted to Government and
value of articles received from the Manufacturing Department, the net cost to
Government was Rs. 96,760 against Rs. 1,04,430 in 1889. The following state-
ment shows comparatively the cost of each patient at each Asylum for the past
three years:—

From the above it will be seen that, except in Colába, the net cost per head
is less in all the Asylums than in the previous year.
Statement No. X shows the sanctioned monthly establishment. The
monthly cost was Rs. 3,694 as compared with Rs. 3,854 in 1889, the decrease
being due to the reduced allowances of Superintendents at Poona and
Hyderabad.
Statement No. XI shows receipts and expenditure on account of manufac-
tures. Less than half of the mean population was employed in various occupa-
tions. The total credits amounted to Rs. 6,180 and debits to Rs. 2,192, giving
Rs. 3,988 as excess of credits or profits. The net profit was Rs. 4,020 against
Rs. 4,109 in 1889.
Statement No. XII gives the condition of the insanes as to caste, sex and
marriage. This statement is summarized in the following tables :—

Statement No. XIII gives particulars regarding criminal lunatics. The
nature of crimes were theft 28, culpable homicide amounting to murder 52, culpa-
ble homicide not amounting to murder 5, attempt to commit suicide 6, voluntary
causing grievous hurt 14, house-breaking 5, mischief and assault 9, and other
miscellaneous offences 16.
7. The official visitors of the Asylums have attended regularly, except at
Colába, where in July last the Second Presidency Magistrate failed to attend or
provide a substitute.
8. Deputy Surgeon-General Turnbull inspected the Asylum at Hyderabad
and I inspected those at Bombay, Poona and Ahmedabad, the results were in
each case quite satisfactory, and I have much pleasure in placing on record
my appreciation of the excellent way all the Superintendents of the Lunatic
Asylums have performed their duties in the past year.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
J. PINKERTON,
Surgeon-General with the Government of Bombay.

STATEMENT No. XII.
B 1686—6
Annual Reports: Report on the Lunatic Asylums in the Bombay Presidency for
the year 1890.
No. 1624.
GENERAL DEPARTMENT.
Bombay Castle, 8th May 1891.
Letter from the Surgeon General with the Government of Bombay, No. S.B. —212, dated 3rd
April 1891—Submitting the Annual Report on Lunatic Asylums in the Bombay Presi-
dency for the year 1890.
RESOLUTION.—The total population of the asylums during the year under
review was 1,006 as compared with 917 in 1889. On the 31st December 1890,
the number of insanes under treatment was 690. The daily average number of
inmates slightly exceeded that of 1889.
2. The new masonry tank at Colába was opened in the beginning of the
year, and the inconvenience of the arrangement of having water brought in
carts in the hot weather was thus removed. An improvement in the water-
supply of the Ratnágiri Asylum may be expected when the repairs to the
reservoir are completed.
3. There was a decrease in the net cost per head of each patient in all
the Asylums, except Colába, the figures for Poona, Dhárwár and Ahmedabad
being specially satisfactory. The receipts from paying patients exceeded those
of the previous year by Rs. 3,848. The question of diet is being separately
considered by Government.
4. The Administration has been generally satisfactory. The attention of
the Second Presidency Magistrate should be called to the penultimate para-
graph of the Report, and he should be requested to find time for this important
duty.
5. Government has reason to believe that the inmates have appreciated
the efforts made to alleviate the monotony of their unfortunate existence by the
supply of books, musical instruments, &c.

of the Government of India, to introduce the Bengal system of sale through postmasters
as an experiment in a few selected districts.
8. The receipts during the year under review, excluding the cost of quinine
packets supplied to Collectors for distribution, amounted to Rs. 72,798, being
Rs. 17,202 and 12,202 less than the budget and revised estimates respectively.
The decrease is due to a reduction in the price of quinine and to the Ceylon Govern-
ment having discontinued the purchase of quinine from the Nedivattam factory. The
cost of the quinine packets supplied to the Collectors at the rate of Re. 1 per packet
was Rs. 1,410. The expenditure of the department during the year amounted to
Rs. 78,886, or Rs. 4,114 less than the budget and revised estimates. The reduction
in the estimated expenditure is explained by a laudable desire on the Director's part
to equalize, as far as possible, the actual revenue and expenditure. The latter,
however, was still Rs. 6,088 in excess of the former.
9. The usual statements showing the receipts and disbursements during the year
under review and previous years have this year been prepared by Mr. Lawson and
are printed as appendices 11 and 12 to his report. The Director considers the form
of statement No. 12 to be somewhat cumbrous and proposes to substitute a simpler
form which, he thinks, will meet all requirements. The Government is, however,
unable to accept the Director's proposal as the form at present in use has been adopted
in accordance with the instructions of the Secretary of State for India and cannot be
altered without his authority.
10. Mr. Hooper's report on the analytical work done by him contains as usual
much interesting matter.
