11.     Cuttack, Moydapore, and Berhampore.—The small asylums at Cuttack
and Moydapore call for but few remarks. Both asylums were unusually
crowded during the year, but in both the death-rate was small, being 5.2 and 6.6
respectively. The Berhampore asylum was opened only towards the close of
the year. There were six deaths, an excessive number, considering the smallness
of the number of patients. It appears, however, that all the patients who died
were over 40 years of age, with one exception, and that half of them died
within a month of their arrival in the asylum.

12.    The management of the Bhowanipore asylum for Europeans continues
to be satisfactory. The number of patients admitted and re-admitted during
the year was 36, and, including those who remained from the previous year,
the total number treated was 60. Of these, three were discharged cured, 13
were transferred to their friends improved, and 18 were sent to England. The
number of deaths was three only. The total cost of the asylum was
Rs. 28,517, but of this sum Rs. 5,253 was recovered for the maintenance of the
patients.

13.    In conclusion, the Lieutenant-Governor has much pleasure in
acknowledging the efficient services of the several Superintendents who have
managed the asylums committed to their care, and he has also to thank the
Officiating Surgeon-General for the careful report submitted by him.
