being as high as 13*73 ; while that of deaths being less, it is as 0*29 

 per cent, to strength. 



This Table exhibits at a glance, the increase and fatality of those 

 forms of fever denominated miasmatic, from their imputed source, or 

 origin, in the four months mentioned. August, September and October, 

 are prominently shewn to be the months in which these fevers are 

 most prevalent : we have in these months a very large per centage to 

 strength, and a very considerable increase in the number of these forms 

 of disease, to that prevailing in other months.* 



By a reference to the Table, it will be seen that the cases oifebres 

 miasmaticce were, in the period of 13 years, the following : —

There is the same preponderance of disease observed in May, in 

 regard to these particular forms of fever, as in the general return, or 

 per centage, of all diseases. 



There is in June a greater number of cases, and more numerous 

 casualties from periodical fevers, than in July. 



The casualties from miasmatic fevers, in the several months of the 

 year, are shown to be in
