Summary: There were reported in all, 48 cases of insanity of all 

 forms, from 26 localities: no cases existed in 76 localities. Of the 48 

 cases, 33 were among males and 15 among females, which is in the 

 proportion of 220 of the former to 100 of the latter. It is evident 

 that insanity in the Indians predominates in the male sex, being 

 more than twice as frequent as in the females. Among the whites, the 

 female insane exceed the male in the proportion of 104 to 100. Of 

 the 33 males, but one, and of the 15 females, only two, were young, all 

 the rest, 94 per cent, being adults. ** There is but one tribe in wliich 

 the proportion of insane is large, namely, the Crows, where there is 

 one insane to every 183 individuals of the population. The total 

 Indian population reported upon amounting in round numbers to 

 125,000, the proportion of insane is 1 to 2,730 of population, or 0.38 

 per 1,000, against 1 to 552, or 1.81 per 1,000, among the wliites.''
