Enclosure.

Head-Quarters, Camp, Crimea, April 21.
Sir,—The health of the Army serving in the Crimea,
as shown by the accompanying return of sick, has been
remarkably good, better even than could have been antici-
pated at this season of the year ; for in place of increase
there has been an actual decrease both in the sickness
and mortality this week, which is more favourable, I
own, than I expected, aril we cannot reasonably look
for a further degrease as the admissions to strength are
only 1.56 per cent. ; deaths to strength 0 01 per cent. ;
sick to well 3 72 per cent.
Thecava.lry on the Bosphorus an I the troops at Kerte!'
have been equally healthy, and no death had occurred
at either place during the week ending 6th April.
The Land Transport continues to have a larger pro-
portion of sick than any part of the army, but even
the health of that corps has steadily improved of late,
though, I ain sorry to say, three deaths, all from
typhoid fever, occurred this week in the hospitals
at the head-quarters of that corps, and one in the hospi-
tal of the battalion attached to the 21 Division, from
disease of the heart,
' This redaces the mortality in the re,ular army to six,
and one of these died from the direct effects of drunken-
ness.

In the S.cies Legion, at Smyrna, I notice an increase
of sickness, and I should myself be apprehensive of that
station as a summer residence for troops ; but as yet tho
army is not suffering very much from disease, either
there or at any other place, for, taking all the stations
and all the hospitals, both general and regimental, into
account, the admissions to strength, of all classes entitled
to medical aid, have only been 1.96 per cent. ; the deaths
to strength 0.02 per cent. ; and the sick to well 5.26 per
cent.—l have, &c.,
(Signed) J. HILL,
Inspector General of Hospitals.
