NOTE.―In some instances the number of admissions were exceeded by the
deaths + the recoveries; in calculating the per-centages the aggregate
of the deaths and recoveries (D. + R.) were in these instances regarded
as the number of admissions.
In instances where the proportion of deaths or recoveries approach 100
per cent, the observations have been very few.
