As the title of this paper explains, no reference is here intended to any
biological work of the Investigator inside the hundred-fathom line.
A good deal of such work has been done, and reports of some of it will be
found in the Journals of the Asiatic Society of Bengal for 1879 and since 1885 ;
in the Annals and Magazine of Natural History for 1890 and 1892 ; and
(generally in a less elaborated form) in the Administration Reports of the
Marine Survey of India since 1876.
Since these Administration Reports are not easily accessible, it is much to
be hoped that, at some future time when the field that they cover is more
completely explored, they may all be summarized for publication in a single
volume.

CAMP No. 261-G OF
1890.
FROM
T. CHICHELE PLOWDEN, ESQ., C.S.,
Commissioner, Hyderabad Assigned
Districts,
To
THE SECRETARY FOR BERAR TO THE RESIDENT,
Hyderabad.
Dated Chikalda,1st
July 1890.
SIR,
I have the honor to submit Dr. Little's report on vaccination in the Hyder-
abad Assigned Districts during the year 1889-90 prepared in accordance with
Home Department Resolution No. 28—1579-95 of July 1887. The report reach-
ed my office, in print, on the 30th June.
2. Twenty-two years have passed since the introduction of vaccination into
the Hyderabad Assigned Districts. During this period the total number of
persons vaccinated in any one year has risen from 8,123 in 1869 to 100,765, the
highest on record, and to 91,621 for the year under report, and the population
protected per 1,000 from 3.0 to 34.8 in the year 1889-90. But for the last six
years the operations of the department show little variation. Comparing the
work of the year under report with that of the two preceding years, the total vac-
cinated in 1889-90 was less than in the preceding year, but more than in 1887-88.
But, owing to sickness among the vaccinators, there were fewer working days, and
bearing this fact in mind, the outturn of work is satisfactory. The percentage of
successful vaccination, both primary and in re-vaccination, was not as good as in
either of the two preceding years.
Dr. Little observes that no fixed standard can be laid down for gauging the
results of re-vaccination, but that, according to experience in Berar, re-vaccination
is more successful in cases in which primary vaccination has been imperfectly
performed. Consequently a low percentage of success in re-vaccination indicates
efficiency in primary vaccination. I find that in 1887-88 the percentage of suc-
cessful primary operations is shown at 96.6 and in 1888-89 at 96.4, and the suc-
cessful re-vaccination in the same year at 45.4 and 38.7. But in 1889-90 the
percentage in primary vaccination was 95.7 and that of re-vaccination 26.8. So
that with a slightly lower percentage of successful primary vaccination there is
a marked diminution in the percentage of successful re-vaccination—a fact which,
as far as it goes, does not confirm Dr. Little's theory.
3. The several results in the different districts approximate closely so far as
primary vaccination is concerned, but there are marked differences in regard to
re-vaccination. The highest percentage of successful cases is 54.6 in Buldana
and the lowest 7.8 in Wun. And, with the exception of the Buldana District, in
which the results of the three years are nearly constant, the percentage of the year
under report is a great deal lower than in either of the two preceding years. The
diminution varies from 12 per cent., to 23 per cent., and some explanation should
have been attempted of the circumstance that it occurs in every district except
Buldana.
4. Vaccination was carried on at 40 dispensaries out of a total of 43 in the
province. The total number of vaccinations was fewer than in the preceding
year, but better by 1,499 than in 1887-88, Dr. Little writes that the value of
dispensary work should be estimated in proportion to the population of the area

VACCINATION REPORT OF THE HYDERABAD ASSIGNED DISTRICTS
FOR THE YEAR 1889-90.
Dated Amraoti Camp, 30th May 1890.
Under the orders contained in the Resolution of the Government of India,
Home Department, No. 28—1579-95 of July 1887, a full report has been prepared
on the working of the Vaccination Department during the year 1889-90.
Vaccination establishment.
2. During the vaccination season under report the establishment re-
mained the same as during previous years and
worked up to its full strength, viz., seven native
superintendents of vaccination and forty-nine vaccinators and apprentice vacci-
nators.
Successful primary operations com-
pared since commencement of vacci-
nation.
3. The following table shows year by year the number of successful opera-
tions in primary vaccination, the rate of success
obtained, and the proportion of the population
protected since the commencement of vaccina-
tion :—

It will be seen from the above that the number of successful primary oper-
ations increased generally up to the year 1883, since when the out-turn of
work has fluctuated but little.
In 22 years a little more than half the population has been successfully vac-
cinated, and in the last decade four-fifths of the birth-rate, estimated at 40 per
1,000 of the population, has been protected, so that primary vaccination must now
of necessity fluctuate with the number of infants in the community available for
operation, and these in turn will necessarily be influenced by a prosperous
season and the absence of epidemic disease, or the reverse.

Another cause however may have contributed towards this comparatively
low susceptibility to re-vaccination in Berar (27.6 per cent.), which is, that most
of these operations were performed at ages from 12 to 15, whilst in the Prussian
army the majority of those operated upon were between 20 and 30 years of
age, so that in their case the protective influence of the primary operation had
more time to become weakened.
The experience in Berar is that re-vaccination is only successful in those
cases where primary vaccination has been imperfectly performed, so that a high
percentage of failures in re-vaccination may be taken to indicate the efficiency
of the primary vaccination.

There was a decrease in primary operations in the following districts com-
pared with the previous year : Amraoti (1,892), Ellichpur (496), Akola
(1,919), Buldana (1,511), and an increase in Wun (321) and Basim (856).
The decrease in the Amraoti district is owing to a general falling-off in
the amount of work done in almost every circle, due in part to their having
been 1,710 fewer births and 1,310 more deaths of children under one year of
age, or 3,020 fewer children available for vaccination than in the previous year,
and also to no work having been done on 171 days owing to sickness of vacci-
nators, against 31 days last year.
In all districts there was a falling-off in the available number of children
for vaccination as shown in table No. 9, and the number of days lost through
illness in each district as compared with the previous year is shown here-

Under re-vaccination there is a progressive increase noticeable in all districts
but Wun, where there was a decrease of 105 operations.
Re-vaccination is not popular with the people, who will not see the necessity
for repeating the operation. No opportunity is lost of explaining the dangers
of imperfect vaccination, and urging the desirability of all persons undergoing
re-vaccination about the period of puberty.

The percentages of success are slightly lower in each district than in
1888-89, and range from 97.5 in the Amraoti District to 93.1 in Akola.
The percentages of unknown cases show a decrease on last year's figures
except in the Akola District, where they out-number the unsuccessful.
The percentage of unverified cases by vaccinators in this district is 4.4 as
against 2.2 in the previous year; the cause is attributable to inadequate super-
vision owing to physical inability on the part of the Superintendent, whose
health unfits him for the hard and rough work of the Vaccination Department.
Mr. Trimbuk Rao is a capable clerk, and endeavour will be made to transfer
him to some other office.
