    From the Fort St. George Gazette, No. 3055, Dated 5th September 1856 p. 389. The following Notification is published for the information of the Authorities concerned. NOTIFICATION. Deeming the investigation into the remote and proximate causes of Cholera, upon which L)r. Balfour is engaged, to be one of great interest and importance, the Riglit. Honorable the Governor in Council is pleased to direct that all Civil, Political, Military and Medical authorities will afford to that Officer every assistance in their Eower, and supply him with such information as he may seek in the prosecution of is enquiries. By order of the Right Honorable the Governor in Council. (Signed) T. Py croft, Chief Secretary. From the Bombay Times. A very interesting work lias jusf- been published by Dr. Balfour of the Madras Army, on the Localities in India exempt from Cholera, and this forms an element for an addition to our physical Atlases, we were not prepared for. A set of cholera or pesti- lence maps for India * * * would bring under the eye at once in graphic form the vast mass of facts here appearing as statistics. * * Dr. Balfour does not confine him- self to dry Tables or abstracts ; but gives in his narrative an account of the geological and other leading features of the country.. * * The work is one of the many Dr. Balfour has given to the world where the mass of printed matter affords a very inadequate idea of the amount of labour expended on its preparation for the press, or the very great value ot the facts comprised within the narrowest limits that can be assigned to them.
