No. A/6425 OF 1915.
From
G, F. KEATINGE, ESQUIRE, CLE., I.C.S.,
Director of Agriculture;
To
THE CHIEF SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
Revenue Department, Bombay.
Poona, 6th July 1915.
Sir,
I have the honour to forward herewith the Annual Report of the Principal,
Bombay Veterinary College, for the year 1914-15.
2. It is satisfactory to note that the number of students and the
proportion of students from this Presidency are tending to rise.
3. The number of students passing out of the College this year is small
but may be expected to rise in the near future. The Civil Veterinary
Department of this Presidency is in need of recruits and it is likely that for
some years it will need them in larger numbers than are available.
4. The report indicates a good year's work, including the additional duties
undertaken by the staff which can barely be considered sufficient for its
ordinary work.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
G. F. KEATINGE,
Director of Agriculture.

To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
Revenue Department, Bombay.
Sir,
I have the honour to submit herewith the Annual Administration Report
of the Glanders and Farcy Department for the year 1914-15.
2. During the year under report 40 horses were seized under the Act and
taken to the Lazaretto as against 48 last year. Of these, 35 were found to be
diseased within the meaning of the Act and dealt with accordingly. Of the
35 diseased animals, 5 were cases of Glanders, 1 Epizootic Lymphangitis and
29 Surra.
Besides the above cases 55 equines (38 horses and 17 mules) belonging to
different regiments passing through Bombay at the time of embarking were
removed to the Lazaretto as cases of Glanders and Surra and were dealt with
under the Act. Of the 55 cases, 38 horses proved to be affected with Glanders
and 17 mules to be affected with Surra. These 55 animals come from the follow-
ing units :—63rd Field Battery 2 horses; 17th Cavalry 36 horses; 11th Mule
Corps 16 mules and 13th Mule Corps 1 mule.

8. There were ten consignments of Queensland horses.
9. During the year under report Mr. Rebello acted as 2nd Assistant
Professor from October 7th to December 7th during the absence of Mr. Vakharia
on privilege leave and again from 4th January until 10th March during
Mr. Sowerby's absence on furlough.
10. Extra Duties:—During the year under report the Officers of this
Department have undertaken voluntarily certain extra veterinary work in order
to assist as far as possible the Military authorities during the present crisis.
In Bombay during September there was an outbreak of Surra among mules of
the Supply and Transport Corps and in October and November there was an
outbreak of Glanders among the horses of the 63rd Battery and the 17th
Cavalry. The Inspectors assisted to deal with these outbreaks. Again during
January, February and March there was a very great deal of clinical work to be
done at the Bai Sakerbai Dinshaw Petit Hospital for Animals on account of the
hospital being largely used for military horses and four of the Inspectors were
detailed for clinical work there, their Divisions in the City being looked after by
the remaining two Inspectors. This was possible on account of the small number
of Arab horses being imported this year, but nevertheless, it meant a considerable
amount of extra work for all concerned. All the Inspectors have worked well
and have done their best.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
K. HEWLETT, I.C.V.D.,
Principal, Bombay Veterinary College.
