tricts, namely, Mandalay, Bhamo, Myit-
kyina, Katha, Ruby Mines, Shwebo,

Though the operations during the last year were only 840 more than in 1894-
95, the quality of the work has been im-
proving, as will be seen from the marginal
comparative statement giving the percent-
ages of success during the three years.
The percentages during the last year
ranged from 73.11 in the Northern Shan
States, 82.01 in the Ruby Mines, 83.39
in Katha to 98.22 in the Lower Chind-
win, 98.16 in Minbu, and 97.30 in the
Kyauksè district. The high percentages in revaccinations at Myitkyina, Meiktila
(100 per cent. each), and at Mandalay (90.64) are very noticeable. Doubt is
expressed as to the classification at Myitkyina. The Civil Surgeon, Meiktila,
remarks that though curious the classification is correct as he verified the opera-
tions. The Civil Surgeon, Mandalay, likewise considers the classification correct.
