The total inspections compare very favorably with those of the preceding year for all
classes of officers mentioned in the table; but considered individually, the percentages of
cases seen by the Deputy Superintendents of the 2nd and 4th circles to total vaccinations
in their respective circles are much lower than those of the other Deputy Superintendents, and
indicate that they have not been so active as they might have been. The inspectors have
done well throughout, no doubt owing to their being always present in their respective circles.
The Superintendent might have done better than he did had he not been ill with fever
during a portion of the working season. The verifications show that in every circle the
quality of the work performed was very satisfactory.
The Superintendent's tour commenced in the beginning of October and ended in April,
with an interval from the latter end of October to the beginning of November, during which
he was laid up with fever. During this period he visited successively the places mentioned
below: —
Thana Nyehatti, in 24-Pergunnahs.
„
Chogdah in Nuddea.
„
Bansberiah, in Hooghly.
The Suburban Municipality.
Thana Barriepore, in 24-Pergunnahs.
The eastern parts of the 24-Pergun-
nahs.
The whole of Jessore.
Thanas Comercolly and Kooshtea,
in Nuddea.
The west of Burdwan.
The Bankoora district.
The Sudder, Chooadanga, and Ra-
naghat sub-divisions, in Nud-
dea.
Thanas Ahmudpore, Mouressur,
Soori, Doobrajpore, and Nul-
hatti, in Beerbhoom.
Thanas Sagordighee, Mirzapore,
and Assanpore, in Moorshed-
abad.
A considerable tract of country in Moorshedabad, East Burdwan, and Nuddea (by
boat taken at Azimgunge and returning by Santipore and Ranaghat).
A large portion of Midnapore.
In April some parts of Howrah and thanas Mutlah and Tollygunge in 24-Pergun-
nahs.
The inspections of April 1881 are not included in the foregoing table. Wherever the
Superintendent went, he noted the sanitary condition of places needing attention, and sub-
mitted to this office reports regarding them. These reports have for the most part been
utilized in my sanitary report for 1880. They are generally carefully prepared, and, if
continued from year to year, will place this office in possession of a reliable and valuable body
of sanitary facts.
