General.—Towards the end of the year, the Veterinary Dispensary received a
visit from the Superintendent of the Civil Veterinary Department, Assam. He made
a thorough inspection and expressed himself very pleased "with the condition of the
dispensary, and the work of the Veterinary Assistant. He made several valuable
suggestions, especially with reference to the stock of drugs. I am very grateful to
him and to the Government for his visit, which I hope may be an annual one in
future.
ILLEGIBLE.
Superintendent, State Office,
for President of the Manipur State Darbar.
Resolution on the Report of the Civil Veterinary Department,
Assam.
Extract from the Proceedings of the Chief Commissioner of Assam in the Revenue
Department, No. 4091R., dated the 15th August 1917.
READ—
The Report of the Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Assam, on the administra-
tion of the Civil Veterinary Department, Assam, for the year 1916-17, and the review
thereon of the Director, Department of Land Records and Agriculture, Assam.
RESOLUTION.
DURING the year one Assistant resigned and two new appointments were made ;
six Assistants were deputed to military duty, of whom one has returned, leaving the
staff under the Superintendent at the close of the year at 3 Inspectors and 32 Veteri-
nary Assistants. Four students obtained their Diploma during the year and have been
given appointments in the Department, and there are now 20 students in the Bengal
Veterinary College, so the improvement of the terms of service has overcome the
difficulty of getting suitable recruits for the Department which was commented on
in earlier resolutions.
2. There was heavy mortality from contagious disease among cattle, particularly
in the Kamrup, Darrang and Sylhet districts, rinderpest accounting for 20,817 out of
44,952 reported deaths. Fewer outbreaks were reported than in 1915-16 and fewer
animals inoculated, but it is noteworthy that of 36,016 animals inoculated only 1.4
per cent. died subsequently, so far as is known. There is still opposition to inoculation
in some quarters, and trouble is given by only part of the infected cattle being
brought for treatment, but elsewhere the people have learned to ask for inoculation on
the outbreak of contagious disease.
In spite of the reduction of staff due to the absence of Assistants on military duty,
Veterinary Officers visited more villages and treated nearly 60,000 animals locally.
3. The Province was visited by Dr. Macalister , Imperial Pathologist, in connec-
tion with an enquiry into the equine disease, kumri, and the result of his investigation
is awaited.
4. Mr. Blackwood's report on the cattle of Assam was received and suggestions
for improvement of the local breeds have engaged attention of the Chief Commis-
sioner.
5. Three Veterinary infirmaries at Silchar, Gauhati, and Shillong were maintain-
ed by Government and provision was made for the detention in the infirmaries of
animals requiring treatment in cases dealt with under the Cruelty to Animals Act.
6. The Chief Commissioner has much pleasure in noting the names of the officers
of the Department commended for good work, and his thanks are due to Mr. Harris
for his zealous work and most efficient administration.
ORDERED that a copy of this Resolution, of the Report without appendices, the
review of the Director, Department of Land Records and Agriculture, Assam, and
the Report on the Veterinary Administration of the Manipur State be published in the
Assam Gazette for general information.
By order of the Chief Commissioner of Assam,
J. E. WEBSTER,
Chief Secretary to the Chief Commissioner of Assam.

DIRECTOR, DEPARTMENT OF LAND RECORDS AND

To
THE CHIEF SECRETARY TO THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER
OF ASSAM.
Dated Shillong,
the 29th June 1918.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to forward the Report of the Civil Veterinary Depart-
ment of this province for the year ending 31st March 1918, together with a brief
report on veterinary work in the Manipur State, which is reproduced as Appendix A.
2. Mr. Harris continued to hold charge of the Department throughout the year
and was on tour for 187 days against 183 in the preceding year. He inspected the
work of all the Assistants except those at Nalbari, Srimangal, Barpeta, Badlipar,
North Lakhimpur, Golaghat and Kohima, who were inspected last year, and Aijal,
where there was no Veterinary Assistant before last year. He also investigated out-
breaks of contigious diseases and checked the results of serum inoculation as
opportunity occurred. The number of days spent on tour by two of the Inspectors was
less than in the last year, but they inspected the work of all the Assistants, except
the one at Aijal, in their respective circles three times on the average, besides attend-
ing to outbreaks and doing other miscellaneous duties. I inspected the Veterinary
dispensaries at North Lakbimpur, Behali, Jorhat, Badlipar Nazira, Tinsukia and
Tezpur. The Chief Commissioner visited the Veterinary hospital at Silchar.
3. In the year under report there were 20 stipendiaries in the Bengal Veterinary
College, of whom 7 were in the 1st, 7 in the 2nd and 6 in the 3rd year class. Two
of the 3rd-year stipendiaries having passed the diploma examination have since been
appointed Assistants : four who failed have, on the Principal's recommendation, been
allowed to hold stipends for another year : two of the 2nd-year stipendiaries
having failed twice in the annual examination have been removed from the College.
Two of the 1st year stipendiaries also failed in the annual examination in March
1918, and on the recommendation of the Principal the sanction of the Local Adminis-
tration to the continuance of their stipends has been asked for. Under the orders
conveyed in Revenue Department letter No. 6015R., dated the 19th December 1917,
only 4 Assam stipendiaries have been sent in April 1918. Thus at present there are
20 stipendiaries in the College distributed as follows :—
1st year
2nd year
3rd year
...
...

There were also 4 Local Boards stipendiaries and a private student in the College.
One of the Local Board students has passed the diploma examination and has since
been appointed an Assistant.
4. The reported number of deaths from contagious diseases among cattle during
the year under report was 60,710 against 47,932 in the previous year. The mortality
reported as due to rinderpest amounted to about 49 per cent. of the total against 44

REPORT
OF THE
CIVIL VETERINARY DEPARTMENT, ASSAM,
FOR. THE YEAR
1917-18.
PREFACE—GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.
During the year under report I continued to hold charge of the Civil Veterinary
Department, Assam, and was on tour for 187 days, travelling 7,156 miles by rail, 2,296
miles by steamer and 1,334 miles by road.
2. The following dispensaries and hospitals were inspected by me :—
Shillong, Gauhati, Tezpur and Dibrugarh three times ; Silchar and Tinsukia,
twice each; Hailakandi, Karimganj, Patharkandi, Sylhet, Maulvi Bazar, Habiganj,
Dhubri, Goalpara, Bilashipara, Behali, Mangaldai, Nowgong, Sibsagar, Nazira,
Jorhat and Mariani 'once each. The cattle at the Upper Shillong Farm were twice
inspected by me. In the districts outbreaks of contagious diseases were investigated
and results of serum inoculation were checked as opportunity occurred.
3. I attended the camp of exercise at Dibrugarh and examined the candidates
for Farriers' certificates.
4. I attended the Agricultural Show at Shillong and was one of the judges of
live stock, also the Agricultural Conference held at Poona in December. As in
previous years, I attended the Bengal Veterinary College as a member of the Board
of Examiners.
5. In the Laboratory at headquarters 218 specimens were examined, of which 56
were found to be Anthrax, 28 Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia and 9 Surra. In the previous
year 128 specimens were examined.

EQUINES.
9. Several suspected cases of Glanders were reported during the year, hut were
proved not to be glandered when tested.
10. Anthrax.—There were 35 deaths reported from 7 districts. In the previous
year 42 deaths were reported from 5 districts. Diagnosis was confirmed by micros-
copic examination in all districts.
11. Surra.—Thirteen deaths were reported from this disease in 4 districts during
the year against 26 deaths from 5 districts in the previous year. Diagnosis was con-
firmed in all districts except the Garo Hills, from which no specimen was received for
examination.
12. Dourine and Epizootic Lymphangitis.—There was no case of these diseases
reported during the year.
13. Other contagious diseases.—There was 65 deaths from other contagious
diseases against 192 in the previous year but no details are available.
BOVINES.
14. Rinderpest.—This disease was prevalent in all districts except the Naga Hills
and caused 29,808 deaths against 20,817 in the previous year. The heaviest mortality
was reported from the district of Goalpara. Here few of the outbreaks were reported
at the time of occurrence.
15. Foot-and-mouth disease.—Five thousand six hundred and three deaths from
this disease have been reported from 9 districts against 5,737 from 10 districts. The
heaviest mortality was reported from Kamrup district. It has been previously noted
that few cattle actually die from the disease, but the sequelæ of the disease (poisoned
and maggot-infested wounds) kill a considerable number.
16. Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia.—There were 5,525 'deaths reported from 9 dis-
tricts; in the previous year 4,245 deaths from the same number of districts. Diagnosis
was confirmed by microscopical examination in the districts of Gachar, Sylhet, Goal-
para, Kamrup, Sibsagar and Lakhimpur.

considered. Most of the Assistants are in isolated posts where they have little or
no opportunity to keep their professional work up to date and where they are inclined
to forget much which is essential.
41. A sufficient supply of serum has been received from the Muktessar
Laboratory during the year. The number of doses received this year and previous
years is as follows :-—
Rinderpest Serum' ...
Anthrax Serum ...
Hæmorrbagic Septicæ-
mia Serum.

Veterinary Corps.
44. Office work.—During the year the Head Clerk and Third Clerk left
temporarily to join the Military Accounts Department. Babu Basanta Kumar
