French Guiana - Achard states that lacking a thorough census it is difficult to say how many cases there actually are in this colony. He quotes a report by Tisseuil that there were 770 known cases. There exist several village settlements. The Acarouany leprosarium, founded in 1828, still had 36 patients at the time of the report. On the island of St Louis another leprosarium under the administration of penal authorities ahd 136 patients, 74 free and 62 prisoners. In Cayenne, a part of the hospital is occupied by leprosy patients; there were about 200 leprous children in this town.
