less cloth round their loins, and a cloth most commomy over 
their shoulders.

Most of these Sepoys were natives of Madras, 
or of the adjoin- 
ing country. 
They were tall, thin, and rather feeble men. 
They had been in 
Ceylon about three months. 
On the 20th of the 
same month, at between eight and nine 
o’clock in the morning, 
when the temperature of the air in Kan- 
dy was about 75°, 
I tried the temperature of 
several English 
soldiers :

perfect health ; the remaining six were 
in different 
stages 
of 
convalescence from intermittent fever.
