then be strengthened by 3 or 4 more men and under the guidance of a superior
officer the disease could be controlled. In former years inoculation was limited
by the limited supply of serum, but now a larger supply is available: it is only ne-
cessary to have a larger reserve of trained men who can be promptly sent to any
area to control more efficiently contagious disease.
47. In districts where large areas are under tea much good might be done by
the Managers of the gardens closing temporarily the local cattle fairs and stopping
all movement of cattle in or out of the garden when contagious disease is present.
Such action requires a lot of tact and discretion and at the same time must be
thoroughly done to be successful.
48. In perusing table II which shows the mortality it is evident that a large
number of outbreaks are never reported to the department. In other cases outbreaks
are reported when it is too late to be able to take any action.
49. During the year the office work has been efficiently carried out under
the control of the head clerk (Babu Surendra Nath Ray) who is left in sole charge
during my absence on tour, and consequently a considerable amount of responsibility
rests on him. The office staff have also taken an interest in their work which has been
satisfactory.
