Up to the 29th of September then we have had in the parish 89
cases of cholera,* of which 55 proved fatal, and 179 cases of choleraic
diarrhcea, of which 8 proved fatal. Diarrhœal affections also, although
not so common as in August, were yet vastly more prevalent than in
ordinary seasons, as will be seen from the Table A. at the end of the
report.

* Up to the day of presenting this Report to the Sanitary Committee (October 15th), our total cases
