Vaero and Eost do not belong to the inspection district. As will be 

 seen, the physician in SvolvsBr, during the single week of his practice 

 there, had more patients than the doctor at Vsero and Eost in the space 

 of seven to eight weeks. Under ordinary circumstances tbe medical 

 attendance during the Loffoden fishery is sufficient, except in Vaagen, 

 during the East Loftoden fishing, when it will be desirable to have two 

 physicians present from the middle of February to the close of March. 

 (See report for 1879, page 16.) The table below shows the number of 

 sick treated in the hospitals. In the middle of March these were in- 

 spected by the director of the civil medical department: 



Altogether 9.2 per cent., or one-eleventh, of the sick were placed in 

 the hospital. 



For the remaining details of this subject I venture to present the 

 annexed Table VI, which contains a statement of the cases of sickness 

 treated by the doctors. This, as well as the two preceding tables, was 

 kindly prepared by the medical office :
