EXPLANATION. There are some discvepancies in the report in relation to the monthly- mortalities—the monthly returns by the cameteries—the aggregate mor- tality for the entire year, and number in the tabular return of yellow fever cases, with those from which I haA^e made my calculations, which requir® notice. For the first three, one explanation will suffice, for about one-third of the year was there an authorized board to record the number, and the cause of death—for the balance of the year it has been difficult to get the cemetery returns and they do not correspond. In relation to the number of deaths by yellow fever, many were stated as unknown unspecified—whose deaths Avere probably caused by yellow fever;—anxious to arrive as near the truth as possible, the Sanitary Commission has authorized me, during the epidemic, to add a large por- tion of these to the yellow fever mortality, which I have done in tlie daily returns in the tables C, D, E.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b20402521_0401.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
