ment or Local Bodies, 3 are in the service of Native States and 1 died.

Native States' service, 1 is in private practice, 4 are undergoing the Sanitary
Surveyors' class and 3 have died.

quarters and the quarters for two Indian Professors were carried out during the
year under report in addition to the ordinary repairs.
18. Extra Duties of the Staff.—The Principal has continued to perform,
