25th July, 1917, when he reverted to military duty.
I then took over
charge of the Dépôt in my capacity of Deputy Sanitary Commissioner, IV Range,
and retained it till the 6th May, 1919. After that the charge of the Dépôt was
assumed by Major C. L. Dunn, I.M.S., who held it till the 30th June, 1919, in
addition to his own duties as Deputy Sanitary Commissioner, II Range, and till
the close of the year 1919-20, in addition to his duties as Sanitary Commissioner,
United Provinces.
The services of Mr. D. F. MacArthur, the permanent Superintendent of the
Dépôt having been temporarily placed at the disposal of the Military department,
Mr. C. O. F. Lynn was temporarily appointed to the post.
He held the
appointment from 11th May, 1918, to 7th August, 1919, when he resigned. Captain
E. H. Morbey, I.A.R.O., was then appointed as Superintendent of the Dépôt and
he took over charge on the 20th September, 1919.
During the triennium under report the second clerk of the Dépôt having
proved himself totally inefficient for the post was removed from the service with
effect from 25th March, 1919, and another man was appointed in his place. The
pay of the Dépôt coolies was raised from Rs. 7 to Rs. 8 per mensem and that of
the assistant gwala from Rs. 8 to Rs. 9 per mensem with effect from 1st November,
1918.
The number of calves purchased or obtained on fees for vaccination in 1919-20
was 476 (124 cow and 352 buffalo), as against 450 in 1918-19 and 293 in 1917-18.
Of the 476 calves 444 were successfully vaccinated, 22 failed, 5 died before
operation and 5 remained unvaccinated at the close of the year. Out of the 66
deaths amongst the calves 41 occurred from Pleuro-pneumonia, 12 from
Hæmorrhagic septicæmia, 8 from ordinary causes and 5 from general weakness.
The total quantity of crude lymph obtained from 444 calves successfully
vaccinated was 21,895.6 grammes, giving an average of 49.3 grammes per calf
in 1919-20 as against 17,718.2 and 43.9 in 1918-19 and 15,341.7 and 57.0 in
1917-18, respectively. The high average in 1918-20 as compared with that of
1918-19 is due to the fact that much fewer cow calves and a much larger number
of buffalo calves were vaccinated during this year as compared with the preceding
year.
From this crude lymph 124,248.5 grammes of glycerinated lymph and
2,646.2 grammes of glycerine paste were prepared in 1919-20, as against 104,190.0
and 1,168.4 grammes in 1918-19 and 91,377 and 558.2 grammes in 1917-18, res-
pectively. No lanoline paste was manufactured.

nation and the income and expenditure of the Depôt : —
