It is possible that the troops arriving in the Colony during the seven years in question may have been more thoroughly saturated with malaria than those arriving at any corresponding period during the previous thirty-five years. Still, it strikes us as indicative of some change in the health of the Colony, that the admissions per annum from malarial fever during the first period were at the rate of 1-46 per annum, while in the second they were 21-86. But if such a change was in progress during these years, it did not manifest itself in the admissions to the Civil Hospital. The admissions for intermittent fever in the seven years ending 1858 were 141, and for remittent fever 18; whereas, for the seven years ending 1865, the admissions were 100 for the former type and 50 for the latter. The total admissions for these two forms was thus actually less during the latter period, although a considerable increase in the graver form is manifest. As regards the military, it is pretty certain that no case of paroxysmal fever contracted in the island had been observed up to 1865. Eespecting the fever admissions into the Civil Hospital of natives of the island (twelve in all) during forty-five years, it is uncertain how many of these occurred in persons who had been in Madagascar or in other malarious countries.
