TRANSACTIONS OF THE SECTIONS. 145 



Of the Indian wars, the statistics of which the author elaborates in his paper, the 

 greatest mortality occurred at the battle of Ferozeshah, where it was 1 in 12 (12-4), 

 and the lowest at Alliwal, at which only 4 officers were killed, the mortality being 1 in 

 58 (58-2). Of the Peninsula wars, Waterloo shows a mortality of 1 in 12 (12-3), at 

 which 186 officers were killed ; while at Vittoria, where the number of officers killed 

 amounted to 44, the mortality was only 1 in 58 (58'5). 



The number of officers who died of disease in the Crimea amounted to 148, being 

 a per-centage on the total number sent out of 4i (4-5), or 1 in 22. This number of 

 148 consisted of 28 field officers, 30 Captains, and 90 Subalterns. If we add the 

 numbers of those who were killed in action, and died subsequently from wounds, we 

 shall have 74 field officers, 107 Captains, and 191 Subalterns, making together a total 

 of 372. 



The following abstract shows the general result of mortality from all causes : — 



Killed in action 5 per cent. 



Died of wounds 2 per cent. 



Died of disease 4§ per cent. 



Deaths from all causes llf per cent. 



Hence the total number of deaths from all causes, during the whole of the Crimean 

 campaign, which extended over rather more than twelvemonths, were 372, beng 11 J 

 (II -5) per cent., or about 1 in 9 (8-7) of the number sent out. 



The author concluded by stating, that at a subsequent period he purposes laying 

 before the public a complete statistical review of the whole question, including every 

 branch of Her Majesty's service, and enlargingmore particularly on the general sickness 

 of the army, and on the mortality from disease. On these latter points the peculiarities 

 of each disease will be carefully considered, with the causes producing them, the 

 influence of seasons, temperature, humidity, the prevailing winds, and other incidental 

 conditions.
