* Excluding two vaccinators attached to the A. V. Depôt Darjeeling, who did not perform any operations.
Licensed agency.—There was an increase in the number of licensed vacci-
nators, and consequently a greater number of operations were performed by
this agency, but the average per man is less than in the previous year.
District Board.—Fewer vaccinators were employed by District Boards
during the year under review than in the previous year: consequently the
number of operations they performed was less than in 1895-96, though the
average per man is greater. This is more than half as much again as the
licensed vaccinators average.
Government agency.—The decrease under this heading is due to the causes
already explained in regard to the falling off in the number of operations
in Angul.
