or an increase of 41,454 over the previous year, which is a great improvement. There has
been a general and most gratifying increase in vaccination all through the Province in the
past season, excepting in the Gáro Hills and in the Goálpára district, in each of which
there was a slight falling off, as compared with the previous year. In the Sylhet district
the number of operations rose from 37,274 in 1889-90 to 53,273 in 1890-91, or 15,999
in excess of the previous year, which is very satisfactory. In the Darrang district the
work done increased by 5,973 over the figures of the previous year, in the Lakhimpur
district by 4,706, in the Nága Hills district by 3,810, in the Kámrúp district by 3,261,
in the Nowgong district by 1,931, in the Khási and Jaintia Hills district by 731, in the
Cachar district by 672, and in the Sibságar district by 625 over the figures of the previous
year. On tea gardens the work done was greater by 4,146 vaccinations than the figures of
the previous year.
