Teaching Staff.

cer, who was on leave, resigned his appointment from
1st March 1894. Mr. N. D. Dhakmarwala succeeded
him sub. pro tem. and continued to act until relieved by Vety. Lieut.
H. T. Pease, A. V. D., Assistant to the Inspector General, Civil Veterinary De-
partment, on the 12th March 1894, who was appointed to perform the duties of
Assistant Professor in addition to his own. Mr. Dhakmarwala conducted the
duties in connection with the appointment of Resident Veterinary Officer during
the year and resided on the premises. He also, during my absence at Simla,
from September 20th to October 19th, 1893, acted as Principal.
Farrier T. Evans, Instructor in Shoeing, was dismissed, from 27th September
1893, for misconduct, and owing to the difficulty of obtaining an European
Farrier to succeed him, the duties of the appointment were distributed between
a Nálband and the Itinerating Veterinary Inspector. Mr. Dhakmarwala has per-
formed his duties, heavy as they have been, to my entire satisfaction. Mr. Va-
kharia has also performed his duties satisfactorily.
