FROM
The Under-Secretary to the Government of India,

To
All Local Governments and Administrations.
I am directed to forward a copy of a notification No. 2069,
dated 22nd September 1910, in which surra and lymphangitis
epizootica have been specified as dangerous epidemic diseases
within the meaning of section 2, sub-section (7), of the Glanders

and Farcy Law Amendment Act, 1910 (XII of 1910). Under
section 3 of the above Act Local Governments and Administra-
tions may now, by notification in the local official Gazette, apply
this Act, or any provision of it, to anyl ocal area so far as these
two diseases are concerned.
2. I am at the same time to invite attention to Government
of India Circular No. 8—122-5, dated the 27th March 1905, in
which they laid down the general principles that action as regards
surra and lymphangitis epizootica under the Glanders and Farcy
Act should be taken only in respect of places where facilities
for bacteriological examination are readily available and that
no horse should be destroyed under the Act as suffering from
either of these diseases until such examination has revealed the
existence of the disease, and I am to request that those principles
may be adhered to whenever any notification is issued by Local
Governments and Administrations under section 3 of the Act in
espect of either of these diseases.
