W. H. Sholl, Esq. Government Surgeon, pro tempore: -- "From pulmonary complaints we are happily free; and even when these have gone to some length in other countries, removal to this climate has been of the highest possible benefit. Children are exempt from the diseases common to them in England; -- small-pox, measles, scarlet-fever, and hooping-cough, are unknown here." W. P. Dineley, Esq. Surgeon of Fremantle Gaol: -- "We have almost a cloudless sky, a clear dry atmosphere, and a climate unsurpassed by any in the world." Dr. Ferguson, of Australind: -- "We have no fevers or epidemics here." By the Registrar-General's Report for 1843, it appears that the births in Western Australia are about 1 to 24 83/158, which is a very high rate. Those readers who are fond of statistics will be pleased to learn the following rather curious fact: -- In the year 1836, males were in respect to females, as about five to three, but during the following seven years, females increased 21 per cent. more than males; and the continued preponderance of female births promises speedily to adjust the balance of the sexes. The Registrar-General in his Report for 1844, makes the following interesting observations: -- "Supposing the whole population of the colony were now grown up and unmarried, out of every 100 males, as many as 67 could find wives. "Supposing the total population UNDER TWELVE were now of age, and wished to marry; out of every 100 males 97 could find wives. "Supposing the total population OF PERTH were now grown up, and unmarried, 87 out of every 100 males could find wives. "But supposing the population OF PERTH UNDER TWELVE were grown up, and wished to marry, out of 100 FEMALES, only 85 could find husbands." The temperature of the atmosphere is exceedingly dry, and therefore the heat is not oppressive, though the thermometer may stand at a high degree. A rainy day in February or March is an extremely rare occurrence at Perth, though not unusual at Australind, a hundred miles southward. In the hottest weather, farm-labourers work all day in the open air, and feel no more inconvenience than reapers do in England. This is owing to the dryness and elasticity of the atmosphere. I have no recorded observations of a late date, but the following table is extracted from the journal of an obliging friend, Robert Dale, Esq., who, when a Lieutenant in the 63d regiment, was stationed some years in the colony. The thermometer was kept in a cool house at Perth, from March, 1830 to June 1831.
