3. The decrease in the rate of foal-getting is probably due to the un-
favourable conditions of season which continued to prevail in the greater part
of the Presidency. Six stallions are stationed in Gujarát and thirty-eight in the
Deccan. Coverings in Gujarát increased from 15.7 to 24.1 owing, it is believed,
to a greater demand for stock. The percentage of known produce to coverings
of English thorough-breds exceeded the produce of Arabs for the first time for
many years.
4. Two hundred and eighteen country-bred remounts were purchased for
the Bombay Native Cavalry and Police and the Remount Rearing Depôt, of which,
however, only one-fourth of the purchases were made within the Presidency
proper. Forty-one per cent. were the known produce of Government stallions.
Three hundred and forty-eight mules were purchased for the Supply and Trans-
port Department and the Bombay Native Cavalry.
5. Castration continues to stand in little favour. Eighty-four colts were
castrated (26 in the Presidency proper and 48 in Sind) against 73 during the
preceding year.
6. The Superintendent branded in the Deccan 199 mares against 170
during the previous year and in Gujarát, in the course of an extensive tour,
157 against 9.
7. The total cost of the Department decreased from Rs. 55,646 to
Rs. 45,466, chiefly owing to savings in the sum provided for the purchase of
stallions.
8. It is satisfactory to learn that the studs at-Váukáner, Rájkot and Bháv-
nagar continue to be ably managed.
9. The report from Sind is somewhat meagre and Veterinary Lieutenant
Baldrey has not explained the reasons why he did not obtain the information
which he required. Nor does he mention whether any outbreaks of disease
occurred.
10. The question of the encouragement of the castration of bull-calves by
exemption from grazing fees is still under the consideration of the Com-
missioners.
11. The Ahmednagar Horse-Show was conducted successfully, and the
quality of stock was well maintained.
12. No epidemic cattle disease was reported from Khándesh, Sholápur,
Sátára, Bijápur, Kolába, Kaira and Ahmedabad in the Presidency proper.
* IN working out these percentages the number of mares whose results were not known is not taken into account.
B 308
2
From other districts in the Presidency proper, including the Bombay City, only
739 cases in all were reported against 3,136 during the preceding year, while the
mortality amounted to some 25 per cent. against 54 per cent. The Superintend-
ent ascribes the decrease in the number of attacks to the decrease in the num-
ber of animals, to greater care being taken of the animals, to unusual dryness
and to greater knowledge of the efficacy of preventive measures.
13. All the Veterinary Assistants received instruction from the Imperial
Bacteriologist at Muktesar in inoculation against rinderpest in the course of the
year, but owing to the short period that elapsed after their instruction and to
the absence of the disease, very few inoculations were possible. The importance
of their performing this duty with zeal and discretion has been impressed upon
them.
14. In the Presidency proper 21,846 animals were treated and in Sind
5,709 against 20,497 and 5,053 respectively during the preceding year. The
number cured and relieved formed 87.7 per cent. in the Presidency proper and
94.8 per cent. in Sind. The small number of cattle treated at the Poona
dispensary is remarkable. It is hoped that the opening of a branch dispensary
in the City of Poona may effect an improvement. Suitable dispensary buildings
are especially required in Dhárwár and Belgaum. The attention of the District
Local Boards may be invited to the desirability of their establishing dispen-
saries where in-patients can be properly treated in situations convenient to
agriculturists.
15. The Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Bombay, has com-
mended the work done by all the Veterinary Assistants, especially that of
Messrs. Bhatt, Modak and Mamtora. The Superintendent, Civil Veterinary
Department, Beluchistan and Sind, has made no remarks regarding the work
done by the several Veterinary Assistants in Sind. In Provincial tables XIX and
XXI information should have been given by the Superintendent separately for
each dispensary and not for the Province of Sind as a whole.

No. 149-L. OF 1902.
From
THE PRINCIPAL,
Bombay Veterinary College;
To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
Revenue Department.
Bombay Veterinary College,
25th April 1902.
SIR,
I have the honour to submit the annual report of the Glanders and Farcy
Department in Bombay for the official year 1901-1902.
2. During the year under report 20 horses were admitted to the Lazaretto,
as against 20 and 4 horses in 1900-1901 and 1899-1900, respectively.
All these horses came from the City. Out of this number, 3 were con-
firmed glandered cases, 15 were suspicious, and 2 were contacts. Of the 15
suspicious cases, 3 reacted to the mallein test and were destroyed, thus bring-
ing up the total number of glandered cases for the year to 6 as against 3 in
1900-1901 and none in 1899-1900. Ten were discharged as they did not react
to mallein test, 1 died, but the post-mortem examination revealed no signs of
glanders, and 1 remained under observation. Of the 2 contacts, 1 died from
pneumonia and 1 was discharged.
Out of the total admissions, 4 belonged to private individuals, 2 to an Arab
horse dealer, 13 to owners of carriages plying for hire and 1 was ownerless.
Of the horses admitted 4 were walers, 1 country-bred and 15 arabs.
3. During this year 5,055 horses, donkeys and mules were imported into
Bombay, vide Appendix No. 1, as against 4,825 and 4,112 in 1900-1901 and
1899-1900, respectively.
The Australian imports were 1,396 horses, 298 ponies as against 1,738
horses and 119 ponies and 1,545 horses and 132 ponies in 1900-1901 and
1899-1900, respectively.
The Arab imports stand at 1,802 horses and 927 ponies as against 1,561
horses and 862 ponies and 1,333 horses and 822 ponies in 1900-1901 and
1899-1900 respectively.
The Persian imports were 206 horses and 11 ponies as against 144 horses
and 10 ponies and 146 horses in 1900-1901 and 1899-1900, respectively.
The Austro-Hungarian imports were 31 horses and 4 ponies as against 98
horses and 1 pony and 13 horses in 1900-1901 and 1899-1900, respectively.
267 mules were imported. Eleven came from Australia and 256 from the
Persian Gulf. Out of the Australian imports, the percentage of casualties en
route from various causes was 2.405. The casualties amongst the Arabs stood
at 401 per cent.
4. During the year under report, the following horse and donkey stallions
were landed and received by this Department for despatch to the Babugarh
Depôt:—
S.S. "Raffale Rubattino"—15 Catalan donkeys.
S.S. "Imperatrix"—25 Cyprian donkeys.
S.S. "Tokio"—2 Arab and 2 English horses.
B 120
2
S.S. "Mikado"—6 English horses.
S.S. "Raffale Rubattino"—18 Catalan donkeys.
S.S. "Tokio"—3 English horses, making a total of 11 English horses,
2 Arabs, 28 Catalan donkeys and 25 Cyprian donkeys. One English horse
died from enteritis during the voyage.
In addition to the above animals, 22 Arab stallions were sent by the
Inspector-General, Civil Veterinary Department, for care and despatch to the
depôt. In all 88 animals were dealt with and no casualties took place. The
cost per head for landing and despatching, keep, &c., amounted to Rs. 47-3-6 as
against Rs. 18-8-7 for 1900-1901 and Rs. 13-6-9 for 1899-1900. The enormous
increase is due to the fact that this year the authorities in England made no
arrangements to secure return passages for grooms who accompanied the stallions
imported from that country and that the Director, Royal Indian Marine, here
was also not able to secure the passages.
5. Three consignments of horses came from Queensland, but no trace of
ticks was found upon them.
6. I conducted experiments in connection with Lymphangitis Epizootica
at the Sewri Lazaretto and reported the results of the experiments to Govern-
ment, who thanked me and Captain Glen-Liston, I. M. S., of the Research
Laboratory at Parel, whose services were placed at my disposal to assist me in
carrying out the experiments. The report has been forwarded to the Govern-
ment of India who have been requested to schedule the disease under Section 2
(1) of the Glanders and Farcy Act XIII of 1899.
7. Veterinary Inspector T. E. Rodrigues, G.B.V.C., was deputed from
22nd June 1901 to act as Lecturer in Anatomy at the Veterinary College and
Mr. P. Miranda, G.B.V.C., was appointed to act for him. While Veterinary
Inspector J. R. Padar was on leave Mr. J. F. L. DeMonte acted for him.
Mr. D. F. Dubash, Chief Veterinary Inspector, and his subordinates have
given me every satisfaction in the performance of their duties.
S. Appendix 11 is the financial statement for the year under report.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
JAMES BRODIE-MILLS,
Veterinary-Major, A. V. D.,

September 1902—Submitting, with his remarks, the Annual Administration Report*
of the Civil Veterinary Department in the Bombay Presidency for the year 1901-1902.
RESOLUTION.—The report of the Civil Veterinary Department has been
fully reviewed by the Director of Land Records and Agriculture, in whose
remarks Government generally concur. Operations were again hampered by
the continuation of the famine, but it is hoped that the results of the present
year will be more promising.
2. The Director of Land Records and Agriculture should address the
Local Boards of any districts in which he considers it desirable to establish
conveniently situated dispensaries in which animals can be treated.
3. The attention of the Superintendent for Baluchistan and Sind should
be called to the remarks in paragraphs 9 and 15 of Mr. Lawrence's review.
4. Government are pleased to note that both the Civil Veterinary and
the Glanders and Farcy Department were efficiently administered during the
year.

ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION REPORT OF THE CIVIL VETERINARY
DEPARTMENT FOR THE OFFICIAL YEAR 1902-1903.
PART I.—IMPERIAL REPORT.
(a)—MILITARY SECTION.
I.—HORSE BREEDING.
(1)—Government Horse and Pony Stallions.
There were 44 stallions on the registers on the 1st April 1902, 26 horses
and 18 ponies. Of these, 4 horses and 2 ponies were located in Gujarát and
Káthiáwár.
No thorough-bred English stallions were received during the year, as, owing
to the decrease in the number of mares generally, resulting from continuous
famine, none were required.
Four Arab stallions were purchased to replace casualties and others
becoming too old for breeding purposes:—
"Jamadar," a bay arab, 14.3, 4 years; and "Jagadish," a bay arab, 14.2½,
5 years, purchased for Rs. 3,000.
"Jambook," a chestnut arab pony, 14.1, 4 years, purchased for Rs. 1,200.
"Jagirdar," a bay arab, 14.2, 4 years, bought for Rs. 1,500.
There was a great demand for arab horses during the past year and prices
were very high. It was a case of getting the best that could be obtained instead
of what one wished to get. The return of regiments from South Africa and the
presence of foreign buyers were no doubt in a great measure the cause of this.
2. Table III shows that one horse and one pony were removed from the
registers during the year under report, as against six horses the year before.
The general percentage of casualties was 3.85 for horse and 5.55 for pony
stallions, as against 13.33 and nil last year.
