During this period of six months no less than 565 deaths are recorded under the head of morbi varii. In other words, these men died without having received sufficinet medical attention for the determination of even the name of the diseases causing death.

During the month of August fifty-three cases and fifty-three deaths are recorded as due to marasmus.
