The number of re-vaccinatiohs performed under each of these methods
was 6,517, 919,378 and 614,648 with a success of 62.16, 72.22, and 60.50 per
cent. respectively against 1,615, 450,927 and 36,944 with a success of 71.64,
67.05 and 41.04 during 1918-19 and 586, 243,000 and 13,675 with 55.12,
68.49 and 27.12 per cent. of success during 1917-18.
14. Inspections.—During 1919-20, the Deputy Sanitary Commissioners
were mostly engaged on special duties in connection with outbreaks of
small-pox, cholera and epidemic dropsy, and they were therefore unable
to do much routine vaccination inspection work. The Civil Surgeons saw
altogether 51,488 cases or 1.62 per cent. of the total operations performed in
the Presidency. The Civil Surgeons of Malda, Tippera and Faridpur
inspected 6,592, 4,753 and 4,628 operations, respectively. Of the rest, two,
viz., the Civil Surgeons of Mymensingh and Rangpur, saw between 3,000 to
4,000 cases ; 13 from 1,000 to 2,700 and 5 below 1,000 operations. No vacci-
nation inspection was performed by the Civil Surgeons of Burdwan, Serampur,
Howrah. 24-Parganas and Dacca. The Government paid Vaccination Inspec-
tors and Sub-Inspectors inspected 1,133,556 cases or 35.63 per cent. of the
total operations performed.
15. General remarks.—Free vaccination was introduced in the districts
of Birbhum and Howrah from the beginning of 1919-20 at the cost of the
District Boards, and it was continued in the Burdwan district, including
the Asansol Mining Settlement area, 24-Parganas and Jalpaiguri as well
as in certain thanas of the Bogra and Malda districts. It was also introduced
in the Patuakhali subdivision of the Bakarganj district during the year. The
district boards of Rajshahi, Dinajpur, Rangpur, Pabna, Dacca, Mymensingh,
Faridpur, Chittagong, Noakhali and Tippera also appointed many paid
vaccinators for the suppression of small-pox in their districts and as reported
in previous years that it proved a success wherever it was introduced.
Mention has already been made of the use of illustrated leaflets and
posters for the purpose of popularizing vaccination. Three large posters
and a number of leaflets illustrating the danger of small-pox and the value
of vaccination were prepared during the year and circulated widely among
municipalities, district boards and railway and steamer companies, jute mills
and tea gardens, etc., and from reports that have since been received they
appear to have served a very useful purpose in educating the public and
inducing them to come forward for vaccination in larger numbers than ever
before. An illustrated pamphlet on small-pox and its prevention has since
been prepared and is being circulated.

Sanitation Branch.
CALCUTTA, THE 27TH DECEMBER 1920.
RESOLUTION—No. 1355San.
READ—
The reports of the Sanitary Commissioner, the Sanitary Board and the Sanitary
Engineer, Bengal, for the year 1919.
READ ALSO—
The eleventh triennial report on vaccination in Bengal for the years 1917-18,
1918-19 and 1919-20.
1. General results—Birth-rate.—During the year 1919 the number of
recorded deaths in Bengal exceeded the number of recorded births by
396,000, or 8.7 per mille of the population. The birth-rate was only 27.5 per
mille, the lowest returned since 1892 ; it was 5.4 per mille less than the
ratio of 1918 and 5.8 per mille less than the average for the preceding five
years. Every district showed a reduction in the birth-rate, and only one
province in India returned a lower ratio, viz., Madras, where it was 25.5
per mille. The decrease is attributed by the Sanitary Commissioner to
economic pressure resulting from the poor harvest of 1918, combined with
the effect of high prices, the prevalence of influenza and the consequent
excessive mortality which occurred in the latter part of 1918 and the earlier
months of 1919.
2. Death-rate.—The number of deaths was 226,000 above the quinquen-
nial average, though it fell short of the previous year's figure by 86,000. The
death-rate represented 36.2 per mille of the population and was higher than
in any year since 1905 with the exception of 1918 ; it was, however, less than
that returned by four other provinces in India. The heavy mortality of the
year was the aftermath of the influenza epidemic of 1918 and was enhanced
by virulent and widespread epidemics of cholera and small-pox. In the
opinion of the Sanitary Commissioner it is difficult to trace any marked
correlation between the range of prices and the mortality in Bengal, the
increased prices of food-grains, though they bear heavily on certain classes
of the community, tending, in the presence of reasonably good harvests, to
benefit a large proportion of the population ; but such a correlation is observ-
able in the case of crop outturns and mortality, deficient harvests being
almost invariably followed by an increased number of deaths.
The highest mortality in the towns of Bengal was returned by Howrah,
where the death-rate was 55.1 per mille. It was closely followed by Bara-
nagore with 54.8 of which over 20 per cent. was due to cholera, dysentery
and diarrhœa. The Sanitary Commissioner remarks that it is significant
that over 40 per cent. of the total mortality in the latter town should have
been due to easily preventible water-borne diseases of this nature, while
over 14 per cent. of the mortality was due to small-pox, another easily pre-
ventible disease.
