It is very wide- Spread so that while there may not be so great a mortality in one place, the mortality in the aggregate isas high. It has by no means died out in Bombay, while it seems humanly speaking destined to cover the whole Indian Empire. One of the striking features of this visitation is the almost total immunity from attack enjoyed by the European and English portion of the population, and the large percentage of recoveries among the few attacked, compared with the recoveries amon t the nativ ` gs- es.
