At Hyderabad the River Indus water, as delivered to the troops, is very
good; and the analyses show the efficiency of the system of filtration adopted
before distribution.

In Bombay the Tulsi Lake water supplied to the troops at Colába is usually
of good quality, but during the hot weather the quantity of vegetable matter
it contains is sometimes justly complained of.
The Analyst visited, and examined the water at, Baroda in August 1882
before he was employed under me, and his analyses are published in the report
for that year. Nearly all the wells in the bázár were found to yield bad water.
The salts in some of them exceeded 100 grains per gallon. The wells in the Native
Infantry lines yielded good water, and of the five samples taken from the European
lines three were good, one fair, and one bad; the latter being from the well opposite
the Station Hospital which contained 73 5 grains of total solids and 9 1 grains
of chlorine per gallon, and 0 106 parts of free ammonia per million.
In Ahmedabad Camp 39 samples of water were examined, 18 of which were
taken from the European lines, 10 being from wells there situated, the remaining
being samples from the musucks, filter tubs, cook-rooms, &c. Only four of
the 10 wells yielded good water, whilst from three it was classed as fair, and in the
remainder as bad. The four wells were the following: (1) the well in the Com-
missariat Cattle lines, from whence the water used in the bakery is obtained;
