lation. The percentage of success is 91.4. There were 178 revaccinations.
The average vaccinations for each vaccinator is 1,040. Heavy rain and
much sickness among the vaccinators caused a decrease of over 2,000 per-
sons operated on as compared with the preceding year. Considering how
long vaccination has been practised in this zilhá—fully half a century—it is
surprising that a large number of the people will not be at the trouble to
get their children vaccinated. I expect Dr. Cody to show some good pro-
gress in his next report.
Kolábá collectorate.
69. The Kolábá collectorate has a population of 350,405 and an area
of 1,482 square miles. There are 5 vaccina-

pensaries of Alibág and Pen to a small extent.
There were 8,096 persons primarily vaccinated or 23.1 per mille of population

nation is carried on at 3 dispensaries. There
were 15,400 persons primarily vaccinated or 22.4 per mille of population.

progress in this zilhá has been very good and it promises to continue, The

Khándesh collectorate.

area of 10,162. There are 17 vaccinators, viz.,

Native states.

Jawár and Penth. Their population is 156,435
and the area 1,644. There are 3 vaccinators
and there were a few vaccinations done at.
the Penth dispensary. There were 6,173 persons primarily vaccinated or 39.4
per mille of population. Vaccination has only recently been introduced into
Janjirá. There is a very large proportion of the vaccinated above one year
old, as might be expected. The success was 95.7. There were only 7 revac-
-inations. Each vaccinator averaged 2,005 which is above the average of the
Western circle by 598. The progress in the last few years has been very
satisfactory in these states and is a stern reflection on the obstinacy which
for half a century kept vaccination out of one of them.
