names properly registered before I left. This Circle was without a Vaccinator
up to this time, and as Dabee Deen, who was under instruction, appeared to
have obtained a pretty good knowledge of the work, I put him in charge of
Jullar, Gudgaon and Bhaisdhye.
I went to Khairee on the 24th ; the childern of 20 villages, numbering 584 in
all, came in for inspection; of these, 352 were vaccinated before this season, and
232 were operated on in my camp.
I encamped at Badora on the 26th, where I examined the children of 7
villages, numbering 272 ; of these, 144 had been vaccinated last year, and 128
whom I found unvaccinated, were operated on in my camp, and I arrived in the
Sadar Station on the 29th of November. During the greater part of Decem-
ber and January I was engaged at the Sadar Station, but occasionally found
time to visit the villages within 8 or 10 miles all round, numbering about 24.
I examined in those villages 668 children, of whom 364 been had vaccinated
before this season, 40 had been done this year by the Vaccinator, and I
secured 234.
On January 6th I again went out and proceeded to Ranipur, about 18
miles to the north-east of Betul. The children of 20 villages came in for inspec-
tion, numbering in all 505 ; of these, 300 were done previous to this season, and
205 were found unvaccinated, and were operated on in camp.
On January 8th I went to Sullaya. I saw here 390 children from 14 vil-
lages ; there were 301 of them secured before, and 89 who were unvaccinated
were done in camp. On January 9th I went to Bhayawaree, 14 miles north-west
from last camp. The children from 16 villages, numbering 292, came up for in-
spection. 181 of them had been previously vaccinated, and I had 111 secured
in camp.
From Bhayawaree I went on to Shahpur. Ramdeen, the Patel of this vil-
lage, and his sons Sham Lall and Ram Lall afforded me much assistance, and by
their aid the children of 48 villages, numbering 1,009. came forward for inspection.
There were 581 of them secured before this season, 30 were done this year
by the Vaccinator, Anajee Persram. I found 398 unvaccinated, and had them
operated on at my tents.
From Shahpur I went to Neempanee, where I inspected 268 children col-
lected from 13 villages. 131 of these where vaccinated last year. There were
137 unvaccinated, which I had operated on before leaving.
From Neempanee I was obliged to return to the Sadar Station on the
12th of January.
On January 29th I proceeded to the north of the district, accompanied by
Surgeon-Major Barter, Officiating Sanitary Commissioner and Inspector Gen-
eral of Jails; we went to Rampur, where the childern of 9 villages-, numbering
98, were brought forward for inspection. Goolabsing, 1st Class. was the Vaccinator
of this Circle, and his work was extremely bad. Out the of 98 children seen, there
were as many as 38 unsuccessful, or 38.77 per cent. There were no village forms
in the villages. He was fined half a month's pay. I found it necessary to have all
his work carefully gone over, and checked, and the village forms properly filled in,
and left with the Malguzars. As Surgeon-Major Barter wished to see as much of
the work as possible in a few days, our movements were rapid. We visited Shah-
pur, Bhayawaree, Ghoradongree, Ranipur, and Kherla, in quick succession, and
