| Advance on Northern India with the monsoon of 1876. The Murree cholera of July | 305 |
| General advance over Northern India in 1876 in the same week in which the general advance over so many tracts of India in 1875 occurred. Nowshera exempted in this advance, and throughout 1876. Former experience how utilised |

| Invasion of the Peshawar Valley in 1876. The aspect of the invasion | 306 |
| Aspect of the outbreak at Peshawar and Kohat in 1869, 1872 and 1876 compared | 306 |
| Death of the epidemic of 1875-76 in Upper India | 307 |
| Malarious fever moving parallel with the cholera of 1876 in Northern India | 307 |
| Cholera in its endemic home is purely a malarious miasm. Cholera registration of the Jessore district for five years illustrating this aspect |
308 |
| In the epidemic area of Hindostan cholera is not a locally generated miasm | 308 |
| CHAPTER VI. | |
| GENERAL CONCLUSIONS SUGGESTED BY THE STUDY OF THE CHOLERA OF 1875 AND 1876. | |
| Question of the importation of cholera in this epidemic, and its spread by human agency | 310 |
| The effect of sanitary conditions as influencing the propagation of cholera. Remarkable illustrations | 310 |
| Results of investigations regarding the importation and local spread of cholera in 1875 | 311 |
| Inadequate theory is always apt to lead on to erroneous deductions. Il'ustrations | 312 |
| Epidemic advance in 1875 was not gradual, nor by marginal extension | 312 |
| It is quite possible that the aspect of cholera is double; one aspect predominating in India and the other in countries beyond, as in the case of malarious and relapsing fever epidemics |
313 |
| If there be these two aspects of cholera, criticism which does not recognise such a possibility is certain to be unsatisfactory |
313 |
| Aspects of the disease called cholera in England and America, as distinguished from the epidemic cholera of India |
313 |
| Conclusions from personal experience are founded on an inadequate basis. It is essential that the study should be systematic, and followed out as it is in India |
314 |
| The cholera of 1875 beyond Hindostan. The cholera of Syria of 1875, which appeared on the same day as the cholera of Western India |
314 |
| CONCLUSION | 315 |
| TABULAR STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN SECTION IV. | |
| The decay of cholera from 1872 to 1874 in the different natural areas, illustrated | 276 |
| The cholera deaths of the Bombay Presidency of 1875 re-arranged according to a natural method, differ- entiating the areas of spring and monsoon cholera |
291 |
| Analysis of the cholera registration of the Madras Presidency, showing the limits of the areas of spring and monsoon cholera |
293 |
| The geography of the cholera of the general population of the Punjab in 1875 and 1876, illustrating what is meant by an aerial wall, and typical against the theory of the radiation of cholera |
303 |
| Sudden increase of fevers in the Frontier Stations in the week in which Peshawar was attacked | 308 |
| Cholera registration of the Jessore district, showing the annual rise and fall from 1871 to 1876, month by month, of endemic cholera, with the aspect of a purely malarious miasm |
