heifer was successfully vaccinated. Once fairly started, and confident from what I
saw of Mr. Anunta Chandroba's ability and willingness, I left the working out of the
system to him. Having taken over charge of my
Circle from Mr. Cody at the end of December, a few
days afterwards I proceeded to Bandora, and inspected the work of the Sub-Assistant
Surgeon in charge of the Dispensary. None of the children he had vaccinated in the
town could be collected ; so we repaired to the Convent of St. Joseph and to the
Orphan Asylum, where a large number of children had been vaccinated by the Sub-
Assistant Surgeon in charge of the Dispensary. He must have worked with very bad
lymph, as the average of bad cicatrices was very considerable ; indeed, out of 115 that
I examined, three only could be called good. I next visited Bassein, and examined
the old work of Mahadew Vaniek, Assistant Vaccinator (General No. 58) : on the
whole it was very bad. I then visited almost all the villages in that talooka, inspect-
ing the work of Apprentice Vaccinator (General No. 324) Gopall Christna ; his
lymph was bad, producing small bullæ, frequently followed by unhealthy sores. I
changed his lymph, having fortunately just received some English lymph from
the Superintendent General. I next proceeded to the talooka of Mahim, and
examined some of the old work of Vaccinator (General No. 38) Babajee Yadew :
on the whole it was bad. I next visited Dhanoo, inspected the work of Head Vacci-
nator (General No. 38) Maljee Mulakar ; his lymph was good, but the amount of work
performed very small. From Dhanoo I went to Tarrapoor, where I vaccinated myself
fifty-four children from a heifer. My next inspection was made at Tanna, where I
examined the work of the Municipal Vaccinator ; and, finding his lymph indifferent, I
vaccinated for him twenty-two children with lymph of recent human transmission.
In one case I mixed together a little humanized lymph and some heifer's lymph: from
the mixed lymph I obtained most beautiful vesicles. From Tanna I proceeded to
Kurjut, and examined the work of Apprentice Vaccinator (General No. 290) Mahadew
Govind; his work was very fair, but he had made so many incorrect returns that I
had to recommend his being dismissed the Service. I proceeded from that place to
Callian, and examined the Dispensary vaccinations there. I found that vaccination
was very much neglected in that town, and, in order to give it, if possible, a start, I
vaccinated myself at the Dispensary ten children. I next visited Bhewndy, where I
also found the work much neglected. The present Medical Subordinate in charge
Dispensary has not been long in that appointment, and as he seems desirous of giving
more attention to the vaccination of the place than his predecessor, I trust that next
year the results will be more favourable. Before leaving I vaccinated with him a few
children. I next visited a number of villages in the Bhewndy Talooka, examining the
work of Apprentice Vaccinator Trimbuck Govind (General No. 326) ; his tymph was
worthless, and his work both scanty and indifferent. He promised to do better in
future, if sent elsewhere, and to give him another trial. I acceded to his request,
and transferred him to Moorbar. I next proceeded to Warra, and inspected the work
of Assistant Vaccinator (General No. 166) Ballajee Girkur : it was not good, the
lymph he used was very inferior, and the cicatrices of former operations either bad or
