It does not appear clear, from these remarks, that re-vaccination was prac-
tised in every instance, but rather that a large number were cases of primary
vaccination in adults.
Inspections made by Civil Surgeons.
39. At Saugor the inspections were made by the Assistant to the Civil Sur-
geon (Durga Das Sen). This officer " spent 58 days in camp, visited 319 villages
" and inspected 4,414 children, of which 4,089 were found successfully vaccinated.
" He himseslf vaccinated 103 children."
The Civil Surgeon Damoh reports, that he was in the district 48 days, and
examined 5,550 children, 5,314 of whom were successfully vaccinated.
The Civil Surgeon of Jubbulpore writes thus of Assistant Surgeon
Radha Nath Bose, who did the inspection work. " He was on tour during the
" whole of the cold season, and inspected work in all the circles, including those
" worked by the Hospital Assistants of Dispensaries." He inspected 151 villages
and 1,714 vaccinated children; the successful cases amounted to 1,470.
40. The Civil Surgeon of Narsinghpur writes, " I was on tour altogether
for 27 days, during which time I visited 161 villages and saw 3,970 cases. Out of
the total seen I found 3,760 successful."
The Civil Surgeon of Hoshangabad, spent 40 days in camp and was enabled
to see some of the work of each vaccinator. He visited 159 villages and
inspected 2,786 children.

354 villages, and saw 9,386 vaccinated children, of which number 9,067 were

The Civil Surgeon of Betul writes,—"I inspected each man's circle, some of
them on two occasions, avoiding main routes and visiting places where my pre-
sence was unexpected. I found that vaccination and the manner in which it was
recorded there differed in no respect from that to be seen in more accessible or more
travelled routes." He was out altoghther 67 days and inspected 325 villages
with 2,976 children.
The Civil Surgeon of Chhindwara reports that he inspected the work in every
vaccinator's circle. From the returns furnished by him, it is evident his inspec-
tion work was very complete.
42. The Civil Surgeon of Seoni was out in camp, and inspected a good many
villages, but he appears to have been required at head-quarters a good deal.
The Civil Surgeon of Balaghat was unable to make many inspections as there
was no officer available to take charge of the Jail. He was out for a week at
the end of March and seems to have made up for lost time as in that time he
visited 77 villages and inspected 1,428 children.
The Civil Surgeon of Bhandara spent 38 days in camp, and during that time
was able to inspect some of the work of each vaccinator, with which he was
satisfied, except in one case.
43. The Deputy Superintendent of Vaccination, Nagpur, reports, that he
paid 3 visits to each of the circles with the excption of Narkher which he
visited twice. He saw 474 villages and inspected 6,567 children, out of whom
5,689 were successful, and 593 were too recently vaccinated to enable an
opinion to be formed.
The Civil Surgeon of Wardha made very careful inspections. He made
4 tours during the season and visited every circle, and saw the work of each
vaccinator with the exception of that of one man who was carrying on operations
in a remote part of his circle when the Civil Surgeon entered it.
