Fox's Regimental Losses naries wh<> deserted on their way to the front ; and by transfers from disbanded regiments, in which t<>.> large a nnml>er of the men appeared on the transfer papers only. An attempt has been made in the succeeding pages to render justice to such regiments by tabulating the original enrollment separately, and stating the percentage of killed as based on that. In the Fifth New Hampshire, which does not ap}X3ar in the table of high percentages, 17.!) jnjr cent, of the original regiment were killed or mortally wounded. Care was necessary, also, to avoid counting names twice, as in many regiments men were transferred from one company to another, their names appearing on the muster out rolls of each company. In the printed rolls of the New Jersey troops these men are counted twice in the recapitulation which appears at the end of each regimental roll, thereby increasing, appar ently, the quota of men furnished, but lowering the percentage of killed. Still, the printed rolls of the New Jersey regiments are in better shape than those of any other State, and are highly creditable to the authorities who had charge of the publication In the regimental rolls published by Massachusetts, the names of those who reenlisted appear twice ; and in all the State rolls names are duplicated more or less as the result of transfers or consolidation of companies.
