REMARKS.
The
vesicles
were
excellent.
Civil Surgeon,
Darjeeling.
So far as this small trial
allows, I consider
this lanoline vaccine
paste eminently suc-
cessful, and even apart
from sentimental
grounds, superior even
to arm-to-arm vacci-
nation.
J. WILLSON, M.D.,
Civil Surgeon.
*Party did not follow
advice.
MURRAY,

The result was very
satisfactory.

READ—
The Statistical Returns of Vaccination in Bengal for 1891-92, with brief notes by the
Sanitary Commissioner.
These Returns, which were due on the 15th June, reached Government on
the 4th September without any explanation of the cause of the delay in
submitting them. The submission of last year's returns also was delayed, and
the Lieutenant-Governor must again impress upon Dr. Gregg the necessity of
taking steps to secure their punctual submission in future.
Strength of establishment.
2. The following table shows the strength of the inspecting and working

* Including the Health Officer
of Calcutta, who is ex-officio
Superintendent of Vaccina-
tion in that Municipality.
There was a decrease of 22 paid vaccinators against an increase of 10
licensed vaccinators and two paid and 102 licensed apprentices. The decrease in
the number of paid vaccinators is due to the abolition of the paid agency system
in Orissa, and to the Corporation of Calcutta having employed an extra
establishment of seven vaccinators in 1890-91, which was not retained during
the year under review.
The municipalities and dispensaries in the interior employed 262 vaccina-
tors against 254 in 1890-91.
Number of operations performed.
3. The following table compares the total number of vaccinations per-
formed in each of the vaccination circles and in
municipalities and dispensaries during the year
1891-92 and the previous year:—

Thus with an increase of 92 operators there has been a falling off of
198,079 in the total number of operations by circle vaccinators, equivalent
to an average decrease of 107 operations per operator. The decrease occurred
in all the circles except Ranchi, which shows an increase of 7,467. The
