There were 98 deaths from cholera last week in the Metropolis; of which 46 occurred on the South of the Thames, 16 in the West, 16 in the North, and 22 in the East. On the whole, the mortality of the week (1192) exceeded the calculated average (1131) by 61. The epidemic con- tinued to be most fatal in the lower parts of the London basin, and the returns still show that exact relation between elevation and mortality which we illustrated last week from the tables of the Registrar-Ge- neral.
In the country generally, there are only isolated cases reported, chiefly in the old quarters, but scattered over a large surface. In Scotland, the mortality at Dundee has fluctuated between 3 and 7 a day ; the house-to-house visitation having, it is thought, checked the progress of the epidemic. Isolated cases are still recorded in several Scotch towns,—as Arbroath, Forfar, Kirkaldy.
