REPORT OF THE MALARIA EXPEDITION. 
7 
figures for Sierra Leone. But in the most malarious stations the admissions per millr reached 
1500 ; and the deaths, 6.0, excluding "remittent fever." 
For the whole Native Army of India the annual admissions pn- mille were 362.8 ; and 
the deaths per mille, 1.7. But in the most malarious stations the admissions reached 2230, 
and the deaths, 6.8 per tnillf* 
It is obvious that Sierra Leone is much more malarious than India taken as a whole 
is ; though perhaps not much more so than some places in India. 
A study of the Indian statistics shows, moreover, that the admissions for the disease in 
that country have, roughly, the same dependence on rainfall as they have in Sierra Leone — 
that is, of course, not on the total amount of rainfall, but on its seasonal variations. Indeed, 
some of the most malarious military stations in India (Peshawur, Delhi, Lahore, etc.) have a 
small total rainfall. 
* As a rule, natives in India suffer more than Europeans ilo — at least to judge by statistics.
