Excepting that the suburbs of Calcutta, Orissa, and Behar exhibited
increases in primary vaccinations of 641, 740, and 3,672 respectively, and
Ranchi, Sonthal Pergunnahs, and Orissa in secondary vaccinations of 955, 269,
and 21, there was a general decline in these classes of operations, which reached
a total decrease of 331,566 in primary and of 13,068 in secondary operations
in the Vaccination Circles, and of 10,328 primary and 1,017 secondary in
the Municipalities and Dispensaries, and aggregated a reduction of 341,894
and 14,085, respectively, in the entire area under operation.

In the Vaccination Circles collectively the probable standard of excellence
in primary operations may be said to have been attained, and, compared with
1879-80, the rate of success was a little better. In secondary operations the
proportion of success in the Ranchi and Sonthal Pergunnahs Circles is given at
such a figure as proves that either the cases were primary or have been
incorrectly recorded. The results of the circles considered individually are
all also very good, but Ranchi and Behar did not do so well as the others.
Calcutta, and its suburbs, Darjeeling, Ranchi, Eastern Bengal, Orissa, and
Behar exhibit higher, and the Metropolitan and Sonthal Pergunnahs Circles
diminished successes, as compared with 1879-80. The Municipalities and
Dispensaries, considered as a whole, show much improvement as compared with
