pective villages on a certain day. In some cases, as was to be expected, some
people did not attend to this Parwana, and as far as possible when such cases
were brought to my notice, I went myself to the villages thus holding back, and
always succeeded with a little persuasion in inducing them to have their children
secured. In some places I have found that even after using every means in my
power, the people would not come forward, but those cases, I am happy to say, were
isolated, and very few indeed.
From Multai I went to Putton. The Vaccinator, Ameerouddeen, had not
been in that Circle up to the time of my arrival, as he was working in Multai.
I had the children of 23 villages, numbering 767, collected, and found that 472 of
them were successfully vaccinated last year, and 295 were not vaccinated. These
latter I had secured on the spot.
From Putton I passed on to Masode on the 13th. Very little work had been
done here by the Vaccinator. He is a very dilatory man, and requires close
looking after. I examined 707 children collected from 19 villages, and found 332
had been vaccinated during last or previous year. 175 had been secured this
season by the Vaccinator, and 200 were found unvaccinated, and were secured
at my camp.
On the 15th, I went to Atnair, where I had the children of 47 villages col-
lected, numbering in all 909 ; of these, 531 were done during last or pre-
vious years. No work was done by the Vaccinator up to the time of my
arrival, and 378 were found unvaccinated and were operated on at my camp
1st Class Vaccinator Seyed Meer had charge of this part of the district, and from
the small quantity of work found done by him, and his negligence in not leaving
village forms in the villages, and not sending in his returns regularly, I found
it necessary to reprimand him severely. I sent the Native Superintendent to
his work some time after, and he reported a considerable improvement.
On the 18th of November I went to Satnair, visiting a number of villages
en route. The children of 25 villages, numbering 995, were collected. Each Kot-
war produced his village form. In some cases where the Vaccinator neglected to
leave the form, the omission was rectified, and the names properly registered in
my camp. Of the 995 children seen here, 630 were found to have been vaccinat-
ed before this season, and 365, who were found unvaccinated, were operated or in
my camp.
From Satnair I went to Bhaisdhye, a large village in the south-west The
children of 18 villages, numbering 674, were collected for inspection. Of these,
423 had been vaccinated before this season, and 251 were operated on in my
camp.
The Vaccinator, Dabee Deen, who afterwards was put in charge of this Cir-
cle, was employed for the first time at the commencement of the season, and it
was necessary to teach him his work before giving him an independent charge,
consequently there were no children found vaccinated this year in Bhaisdhye
when I arrived.
On the 22nd November I proceeded to Jullar, where the children of 27 villages
were collected, numbering in all 425 ; of these, 282 had been secured during last or
previous years, and I found 143 unvaccinated, and had them operated on and their
