N.B.—In the Chittagong Hill Tracts and Darbhanga vaccination was started for the first time in 1892-93, and in Muzaffarpur for the first time in 1891-92; hence the
blanks against these districts during the years 1890-92 and 1890-91, respectively.
The remarkable variations among the figures of the several districts require
some explanation, but from among the various causes which may be assigned,
it is difficult for me, being new to Bengal, to point to any particular one as the
reason for the small or large number of operations now being performed in any
particular district; and as the Civil Surgeons also have had no previous ex-
perience of the work of vaccination in rural areas, they even cannot as yet report
definitely on the subject. In the districts in which there is an increase of work
during the year 1892-93, i.e., the year of the re-organization scheme, it is un-
doubtedly due to the special interest in vaccination taken by the Civil Surgeons
of those districts, but, on the other hand, I am not prepared to state positively that
the contrary is the case in the districts in which a falling off in the number
of operations is observable, as causes, such as the employment of fewer men,
opposition to vaccination, difficulty in realising fees and the like, may have,
and probably have had, something to do with the comparatively small outturn
of work. But generally speaking, this must be put down to neglect or indiffer-
ence on the part of the supervising officers. At all events, the excuse that is
very generally made of paucity of subjects in consequence of previous activity
cannot be accepted, for it will be seen from the following table, showing the
degree of protection afforded to infants during the year 1892-93, that with
the exception of Darjeeling, the Sonthal Parganas, Dacca, Nadia, Faridpur,
and Tippera, in no district did the total number of vaccinations come up to
the estimated number of infants available for vaccination, and then there were
