CoL 11, Note 6.-See p. 320 (1), Geddes. It mnst be
recollected that the figures gillen in the table represent
only Cuttack, Pooree, and Balasore, the three
principal districts of Orissa. Dr Hunter estimates
the mortality throughout all the affected districts at
one quarter of a million.
Col. ll, Note 6.-See Blue-Book, Madras famine, 1866;
cholera and fever deaths are not included in this.
Col. 11, Note 7.-The excess of deaths, in the affected
districts of 1869, over 1868, has been adopted here ;
this is really too high. It was intended to quote
Mr Henvey's remark concerning the estimation of
famine mortality (see p. 321, Geddes), but unfortunately
no copy of the passage was taken when the
book was availahle.
Col. 11, Note 8.--See Colonel Brooke's Administration

N.B.-Unfortunately, while making out this Appendix,
I have only bad my ]lotes to depend upon, the original
references being beyond my reach at present; hence the
uncertainty of one or two of the notes.
