The next table, compiled on the general plan of those preceding, exhibits
the number of villages, and the populations affected. It will be noticed that
there was a great difference in the intensity of the disease in various parts of
the country. Speaking generally, the northern talooks of the district suffered
the least, while the districts on the sea-board and the southern talooks, especi-
ally such of them as were flooded after the cyclone in 1869, suffered in an
unusual degree.
