Appended to the Registrar General's Returns will be found 1st the Military Mortality for the year, and 2ndly the Colonial Surgeon's Report.

21. As regards the mortality in the Garrison, though 6.52 per cent is an increase on 5.60 of the preceding year, yet keeping in view the severe summer, and the hard work endured by the soldiery during 1838, it does not show any great cause for anxiety, for the percentage was 4.62 in a year of almost perfect quietude (1836) and the present slightly increased rate falls into insignificance before the 17.89 per cent of 1850, or the still more disastrous times, now long past, of 1843, and 1844, in which latter year it was over 35 per cent.

22. The death of Dr. Attarland, a serious public loss, occurred during the year; he is the fourth Colonial Surgeon whom I have seen fall a victim to the Climate.

23. His temporary successor has given a very creditable Report considering his short tenure of office.
