* These Tables are wliolly irrespective of the ships to which the 
officers, seamen, &c., belonged. They are intended to denote on 
board of what ships they were first seized with fever: and in wiiat 
ships, or where the deaths took place. Without some plan of this 
nature, it w'ould be impossible to convey a clear idea of the vital 
statistics of tiie expedition; seeing that at the Confluence the distri- 
bution of the crews of the squadron was considerably changed.

Lauchlan, sailmaker, of Soudan, who joined before the Albert left
