While there are considerable variations for certain causes of admission, 

 these about balance each other, and the rates per 1,000 for admissions 

 and days lost very closely approximate each other. The slightly higher 

 rate for heat exhaustion in the special group is worthy of note, although 

 there is little else in this table that is significant. 



Symptoms referable to climate. — There are a number of symptoms 

 which are well recognized as being due to the effects of heat and sunshine, 

 and these as observed after the men have been at drill or fatigue duty or 

 upon practice marches, are given in the next table. It is practically 

 impossible to reduce these two groups to a common basis, but the numbers . 

 of observations upon them approximately are equal.
