Superintending. 

 Surgeon's Returns 



From the foregoing Tables, which like the preceding re- 

 marks, are necessarily very imperfect — a few deductions of 

 some interest may be drawn. But it is proper to remark in 

 the first place, that the Superintending Surgeon's returns in- 

 dicate the number of deaths in hospital only, while the deaths 

 of those who die away from head-quarters or on out-post 

 duty, are recorded in the regimental returns. 



1. From Tables I. and VI. it is plain, that among both 

 Native troops and Mughs, the four months of the year during 

 which most rain falls, that is May, June, July and August, 

 are the most unhealthy. 



2. From Table II. of three corps, all under the influence of 

 a very moist climate, it appears, that the local battalion is 

 more unhealthy even than the Assam light infantry, that its 

 mortality is far greater than that of local corps or of native 

 regiments in the Upper Provinces, among whom, under ordi- 

 nary circumstances, 1.5 per cent, per annum is about the 

 average. The Table also shews the remarkable healthiness of 

 the Sylhet light infantry.
