It will be seen that relatively the outcome of the 3rd Metropolitan circle was the best
and that of the 2nd the worst, the two other circles occupying intermediate positions. The
division of work among the Duputy Superintendents does not appear to have been well
arranged. The Deputy Superintendent at Beerbhoom has also the southern half of the
24-Pergunnahs assigned to him, although the Hooghly district intervenes. To the Deputy
Superintendent of the northern half of the 24-Pergunnahs, Jessore and Hooghly have also
been allotted, although the Hooghly river intervenes and always requires to be crossed.
Under the present arrangement time is lost in travelling which could be devoted to inspec-
tion under a better arrangement.

The above figures analysed show—
(1) that there was a very considerable reduction (241,172) in the number of vaccin-
ations performed during the year, the decrease being shared by all the
circles in the following order :—3rd circle 141,865, 4th circle 53,735, 2nd
circle 37,299, and 1st circle 8,273 ;
(2) that, considering the districts individually, it is found that Jessore only exhibits
increase of work, to the extent of 5,633 operations, and that the rest of the
districts show decreases in the following order:—Burdwan 69,462, Beer-
bhoom 57,374, Midnapore 48,310, Nuddea 40,161, Bankoora 9,930,
24-Pergunnahs 9,310,. Hooghly 9,003, Moorshedabad 1,917, and Howrah
1,338;
(3) that the falling off is apparent in both the primary and re-vaccinations;
