Analysis of the registration of
Madras showing the limits of the
spring and monsoon cholera.
In 1875, 166 registration circles of Madras returned
cholera. The date on which these commenced to register the
invasion, is shown in the analysis which follows:—
| Total circles registering | = | 166 |
| Deduct the circles of the northern province, which has no special cholera history in 1875 |
=10 | 15 |
| „ also five circles of Malabar, which from January to May registered, probably in error, 9 cholera deaths between them |
= 5 | |
| 151 | ||
| Deduct spring cholera of Southern India (January to June), geographically limited as below— |
40 | |
| Tinnevelly 2; Tanjore 13; Trichinopoly 8; Coimbatore 3; Madura 1 ; South Arcot 8; Chingleput 2 |
=37 | |
| Against 7,591 deaths to the south, caused by this spring cholera, to the north of this geographical line, 31 deaths only were registered between January and the end of June, in three circles of Cuddapah, which were entered on 3rd, 14th and 23rd June |
= 3 | |
| 111 | ||
| In the monsoon season, from 1st July to 31st August, 91 circles were entered | = | 91 |
Leaving from 1st September to 31st December. |
= | 20 |
Three circles of South Canara were entered in the extension of the Bombay
cholera of November; and in 17 circles of districts occupied in
July and August, the epidemic extended. These twenty circles
were occupied, 8 in September, 4 in October, 5 in November, and
3 in December.
The 31 deaths of Cuddapah are all that we have to show in anticipation of the monsoon
cholera covering the entire north of the Madras Presidency. Three circles gave these deaths,
dating the commencement on 3rd, 14th and 23rd June. I observe that five circles of South
Arcot and Chingleput were first invaded at the same time, namely, on 7th, 16th, 18th, 19th
and 23rd June; and it is possible that the cholera of these three districts represented in homo-
logy if not actually, in this locality the cholera of 20th June of the Nizam’s Dominions and the
Berars.
