SANTIAGO. 223 



The interments at the Panteon, for every month of the year 1850, arranged in the order of 

 the several parishes of the city from which the bodies came, are published in the " Araucano." 

 They inrhnlr Nufma, a district at least three miles off, which has not been comprised in the pre- 

 en ling table. In that, parish the number of deaths that year were men 12, women 7, children 

 70, total 89 ; and the total numbers of the "Araucano" men 1,469, women 1,265, children 

 3,120, or 5,854 in all! I cannot pretend to account for the discrepancy, my table having been 

 made by myself with all care, from the returns kindly furnished me in the Statistical Office. A 

 friend, to whom I wrote on detecting the difference, says, in reply : "Seftor T. account* for the 

 j^nat ilillerence in the mortality between your lists, made out in his office, and the publications 

 of the ' Araucano,' by your taking the mortality of the city of Santiago, whilst the published 

 taMrs comprise the province." But this is not the fact; the " Araucano" specifies seven 

 parishes, including Yungai and Nunoa, the two hospitals, and 20 found dead. As has been 

 said, mine include all except Nufioa.
