ABSTRACTS OF REPORTS BY SUPERINTENDENTS.
Of the total vaccinated, the largest number were Hindus; the next the denominations
coming under the head of " other races;" the Mahomedans occupied the third place; and
the Christians the last. But with reference to population, the Mahomedans and Hindus
were the best protected, and almost equally; the Christians the least; and the " other
races " intermediately.

Of the total vaccinated, the largest number operated on were children of one to six years of
age. The proportion of infants vaccinated to number born shown above, indicates that a large
number of the children born during the year were unprotected. In this respect, however,
the licensed agency did much better than the Government establishment.

That the success that attended the work of the vaccinators is satisfactory, receives support
from the personal observations of the several officers who inspected it, as will be apparent
from the figures in the third last column of the above table. But I do not feel satisfied with
the rates at which the inspections were made by the several officers from the Deputy Superin-
tendent downwards, as judged by the figures in the last column of the table, which shows
clearly that a very large proportion of the operations were not inspected.
Cost of vaccination.
78. The total cost incurred for vaccinations during the year amounted to Rs. 10,408-4-4,
and this sum, distributed over the 138,118 successful oper-
ations, gives one anna and two pie as the cost of each, against
one anna and four pie in the preceding year. The cost of the Government establishment
vaccination was two annas nine pie for each successful case, and that of the licensed agency
two annas and three-fourths pie per case.
