SIR,

      IN submitting a report on the Medical Institutions of Calcutta for
the year 1877, I have the honor to say that those
which are noted on the margin are included, and
that the arrangement which has hitherto been
follower will be adhered to.

Numbers,
attended both
in-door and
outdoor.

      2. Statement No. I shows the number of
house and out-door patients treated during the year
in the City and Suburban Hospitals of Calcutta.
Comparing these numbers with those of the precede-
ing year, it may be stated generally that the
numbers show an increase. Thus in the Medical College Hospital there
were 4,352 house and 44,679 out-door patients in 1876, against 4,967
and 47,506 in 1877. In the General Hospital also there was an increase,
as also in the Mayo and Campbell Hospitals. An increase of house-patients
from 2,261 to 2,859 likewise occurred among the police force, from which latter
fact it seems natural to infer that the past year was more unhealthy than 1876.
Among the five suburban dispensaries, the total number of patients which was
42,102 in 1876 rose to 47,855 in 1877. It is further to be noticed that the
number of patients treated in 1876 was less than in 1875.
