r. Lieutenant Keelan made a house-to-house 

 visitation of 200 houses, in each of which there 

 were protected and unprotected persons living 

 together, and in each of which there had been one 

 or more cases of plague. The figures for 69 of these 

 houses are appended to Captain Leumann's report. 

 They are as follows : — 





Inmates.

These 69 houses were selected : there was 

 nothing unfair in the method of selection, still, they 

 were "good houses" ; they are not, therefore, exact 

 for statistics ; but, as the Commissioners say, they 

 are 4 'of interest as quite special examples of suc- 

 cessful inoculation." 



2. In the Southern Mahratta Spinning and 

 Weaving Company's Mills, a careful record of 

 inoculation was kept and checked by the manager. 

 The number of the workpeople at the time when 

 inoculation was begun, 21st June, was 1 173. At 

 the end of the epidemic the figures were : — 





Deaths. 



Mortality per
