![As the general table No. 22. for Europeans, includes also the sick of the Artillery at Trichinopoly, the following have been framed to exhibit the admissions and deaths separate- ly, and for the purpose of comparison, as regards the most important diseases. The sick of the detachment of Artillery at Palamcottah is included, but this is not considered to vitiate the general results. The table for H. M.’s. troops comprises eight complete years, when the same regiment occupied the station during a period of 12 months ; that for the Artillery embraces ten years, as the number being very limited, it was thought proper to extend it to have larger numbers, and so to obtain more accurate inferences.
