The total numbers of cases and deaths reported throughout the Presidency for this
Second Period were--
4th June 1897 to 3rd June 1898.

Cases, 75,813-Deaths, 61,220.

THIRD PERIOD.

 3rd June 1898 to 2nd June 1899.

 We have already noticed that during June and July 1897, a general and almost total
 subsidence of plague occurred throughout the Presidency. Some Districts were free ;
 others indeed still returned plague cases, but these were but the dying embers of' rapidly
 subsiding epidemics. Other Districts again had so far not been attacked. But in no
 case was an epidemic beginning or were the figures rising.
 To a considerable extent, though in a far less degree, the same was again true in June
 and July 1898. In many Districts plague had ceased altogether; in others it was
 subsiding.
 In the first category were Ahmednagar, Khandesh, Nasik, and Sholapur Districts in
 the Presidency proper; the Hyderabad and Shikarpur Districts in Sind; and Aundh, Janjira,
 Palaupur, and Reva Kantha amougst the Native States. In the second category were the
 Surat, Thana, Poona, Satara, Kolaba, and Ratnagiri Districts in the Presidency proper; the
 Karáchi District in Sind; and Sangli State.
