* In six weeks (Jane 7th to July 18th) 48-3 cases were admitted "direct "
from their own homes, but from which Parishes, &c., the returns do not show.
Of the " admissions " in the fortnight ended September 26th, 35 were patients
transferred from the "Atlas" to the " Castalia." It follows that 791 cases
were admitted "direct" between June 7th and September 26th.
