From Koth I travelled to Dholka, and examined the work of Assistant Vaccinator
Morar Khemchund (General No. 52). His lymph was good and his past work middling,
but his register was full of inaccuracies as regards names, sex, result, &c.: his recent
work of the past few months was bad. The lymph of the Municipal Vaccinator of
Dholka, Hurgovun Bechur, was good, and the lymph of the Dispensary vaccinations
under Hospital Assistant Bhow Sukaram was very good. From Dhollera I reached
Ahmedabad on Christmas Day. Soon after New Year's Day I took my camp to
Butwa, and from there examined the recent and fresh work of Apprentice Vaccinator
Kaloo Fujul (General No. 296), which was not satisfactory. Some old work of
Dossumia Abdulla (General No. 56), the late Duscroe Vaccinator, was also examined
and found very good. From Butwa I visited Jeitulpoor and other villages of Sanund
Talooka, and examined the work of Vaccinator Purbhoodass Heerjee (General No. 20).
His work was good, and his returns very faithful. From Butwa, I next took my camp to
Mhoondah, and for the first time examined the work of Kassinath Mahadew (General
No. 41). His lymph on the whole was good, as well as his old work ; his register
was faithful; and, as regards noting the result of vaccinations, very accurate. It was
the middle of January, and the Superintendent General of Vaccination, who was on
his tour of inspection in Guzerat, joined me here. Travelling together from Mhoondah
we arrived at Neriad, and examined the work of Assistant Vaccinator Muncharam
Kasiram (General No. 63). His lymph in the town of Neriad was bad, in the villages
tolerably good ; his old work was also good. Some lymph received by the Superin-
tendent General from the National Vaccine Establishment of Scotland was tried here,
and produced good results after a second transmission. From Neriad we travelled
on to Matur, and examined the work of Assistant Viccinator Ichasunker Keerpasunker
(General No. 127). Both myself and the Superintendent General were satisfied with
his old, recent, and fresh work. Leaving Matur I encamped at Pundolee, in Borsud
Talooka, and examined old, recent, and some fresh work of Vaccinator Lakheshvur
Ghelabhai (General No. 128) of Borsud. His returns were faithful, but all his past
work was bad : the cicatrices were just faintly visible, his vesicles were imperfectly
developed and small in size: he seems to have been vaccinating a large number of
children with insufficient lymph. I supplied him with some English lymph, which
was to be introduced at Borsud. From Pundolee I took my camp to Cambay, and
examined the work of its Vaccinator, Goolab Jumiet. His lymph one day was good, the
other days bad. English lymph and some animal lymph, received from the Local
Superintendent of Vaccination, Bombay, was introduced here. In February 1868 I
was in Cambay, and had introduced some English lymph, then received by me from
Bombay. I found that the marks of vaccinations with that lymph were very good,
but it appeared that the Vaccinator was not able to keep that lymph going. Goolab
Jumiet's work was, on the whole, satisfactory. From Cambay I proceeded to Borsud,
and completed my examination of Lakheshvur Ghelabhai (General No. 128), which was
commenced at Pundolee. It appeared that all his vaccinations of the past two years were
bad, whereas those done in previous years bore good marks. The English lymph given
to him at Pundolee produced very good vesicles, and it was brought into use, his own
