was, at the time of my visit, employed in Oobaoro Talooka, his work was more particu-
larly tested in three tappidarates of that talooka. I find in my notes that " he has done
excellent work, and the marks are exceedingly good. The Oobaoro Talooka was gone
over last year (1866) by General No. 285, so that there are few children to vaccinate, and
nearly all under one year old. There have been some cases of small-pox in the town
of Oobaoro. I saw one case. I dare say this influenced the people to have so many
very young children vaccinated. I have told Allah Bux to vaccinate the town of
Oobaoro, sharp, to prevent the disease from spreading." His records were true, and I
had every reason to be satisfied with such good work by so young a Vaccinator. In the
same talooka, some old work of General Nos. 165 and 285 was looked at, and the marks
found to be very good. In the talookas of Gotekee, Syudport, and Roree, General No.
79 (Suroop Sing's) vaccinations were found to be excellent in every respect. In the town
of Roree I saw two children with good vesicles, who had been vaccinated at the
Dispensary. Here I saw His Highness the Meer of Khyrpoor's Vaccinator, who in-
formed me that vaccination is progressing most favourably in his His Highness' territory.
Leaving the Roree District I passed through the Khyrpoor State, and on the 1st of
March encamped at the boundary town of Kotree in the Khandiara Talooka, in Nowshera
District. Here the recent vaccinations of General No. 108 (Mehur Chand) were
examined, and his records tested in the usual way, by calling over the names from
the nominal roll; his lymph was good, records true, and work satisfactory.
Some old work of General No. 114 was also looked at, and the marks were
excellent ; twenty-four children who had been vaccinated by Purtab Rai in a
village were also seen to have good marks. When at Hallani on the 2nd March, I
received instructions to stand towards Kotree, to be in readiness to relieve Assistant
Surgeon Colvill of the Civil Surjeoncy there. I accordingly marched down as rapidly
as possible, and received temporary charge of the duties of Civil Surgeon at Kotree
from Assistant Surgeon Morton, who in the meantime had relieved Mr. Colvill.
I took charge on the 11th March, and after about two months delivered over charge
to Dr. Williams. About the end of March I went down the railway to Joongsbaie, to
meet the Commissioner, to speak to him about the inoculators in Mahomed Khan's
Tanda. During the month of April, the Kotree Municipality's Vaccinator's lymph
deteriorated so much that I had it replaced. In May I examined some work of General
No. 142 (Chellah Ram) in Fazl Khan's Tanda Tappidarate, in Doaba Talooka; the
lymph was good, but there were a few errors in his register; for instance, one name
entered twice. I informed him that such errors must not occur. In the month
of June the work of General No. 77 was examined in the Bheem Tappidarate of the
Kotree Talooka, and his lymph, notwithstanding the heat, was as good as I
ever saw in my life. Jettah Mull is an old Vaccinator, and, under all circum-
stances, always has good lymph and well formed vesicles. He has in my time
often been found fault with ; but I will say, that, as a Vaccinator, he is unsurpassed,
or even equalled, by very few. I was much satisfied with his work, and his records
were true. In the month of July I examined General No. 148 (Lalloo's) work in
