	hospital were due to malarial fevers, dysentery, tubercle of the lungs and intestines, diarrhoea, abscesses, ulcers, boils and anajmia. The number of deaths was also greater, being 47 against 23 in 1911. The percentage of deaths to daily average strength was 20'23 against 9*78 in the previous year. The chief causes of death in tho Asylum during the year under report were tubercle of the lungs and intestines (23), anaemia (10), dysentery (4), epilepsy (3), pneumonia (2), and old age and general debility (2). The heavy death-rate was due mainly to the increased mortality from tubercle of the lungs and intestines which caused nearly half the number of deaths and also to the fact that, of the 27 patients remaining in hospital from the previous year some of whom were admitted as long ago as 1910, 19 died during the year under report. Heaths from tubercle of the lungs and intestines in 1911 and 1910 were 10 and 12, respectively. This is as remarked in last year's report, undoubtedly the result of over�crowding and abi-eace of any means of segregation for infectious cases. In connection with the heavy mortality from tubercular diseases the Superintendent of the Asylum Major E. C. MacLeod, i.m.s., remarks, " The spread of tuberculosis, is a cause of considerable anxiety and I trust that with the provision of ample air space and segre�gation sheds the mortality from this cause will rapidly decrease ". In September 1912 a thatched building to accommodate 17 tubercular patients was erected outside the asylum and 13 such patients are now occupying this buildnig. As ordered by the Hon'ble the Chief Commissioner at his inspection in the same month two more temporary tubercle wards to provide accommodation for 10 males and 8 females have been constructed and are occupied. These with the four temporary barracks which are being constructed in view of the anticipated increase in the popu�lation will relieve overcrowding. Of the four temporary wards two, one for males and one for females, will be ready for occupation in a few days and tho remaining two by the 1st June next.
