Bihâr Circle.—The decrease in this circle is in the work performed by
Government agency. Assistant Surgeon Mothura Nath Sen, the Superintend-
ent says:—"It is due mostly to the decrease of recess work and partly to the
opposition rather strong on the part of the inhabitants of some of the villages,
and also partly to the fact that the number of unprotected children in many
villages was not very large, most being inoculated previously."

REMARKS.
(18,525 operations were
performed in 1890-91
by the paid agency
of the circle, against
3,043 in 1891-92. The
large amount of
recess work last year
was due to outbreak
of
small-pox
in
Champaran, Patna,
Gaya, and Shahabad
districts.)
5. Recess work, i.e., work performed during the non-working season,
which corresponds with the hot weather, is only
carried on to keep up the supply of lymph and in
the event of out-
breaks of small-pox.
The table in the
margin shows the
amount of such work
performed in each
circle and in munici-
palities during the
non-working season
of 1891-92, as com-
pared with the cor-
responding season of
1890-91. There was
a total decrease of
recess work in rural
areas, but an increase in municipalities.
