Jaeingatotal of 18 years out of 26 in the three presidencies. It will be observed from the above that in the Bengal and Bombay armies an unusual prevalence of cholera has been occasionally attended with a greater mortality from other diseases, while the mortality from cholera and other diseases among the europeans and natives of the Madras army have rarely been thus associated; although in the series of years the average rate of mortality has been greater in all the Pre- sidencies. This will be observed by the following numerical statement taken from the preceding Tables to allow a more ready reference.
