484. A duplicate set was obtained and was forwarded to the Royal College
of Veterinary Surgeons, London, for incorporation in their Museum.
PUBLICATIONS.
Translation of Wil-
liams' Medicine and
Surgery into Urdu.
485. This most useful work, which, being one of the standard text books
of the English schools, is one of incalculable value to the Veterinary Assistants
of the Department, has been fairly well patronized, and I am glad to say that
about 200 copies have been supplied to men employed by the Imperial and
Local Governments and by District Boards. The great point gained is that
it enables these men to keep up their knowledge, which soon vanishes when
sent out into the districts if they do not keep up the education received by
them at the Colleges.
Lectures in Urdu
delivered by Veteri-
nary Captain Pease
at the Lahore
Veterinary College.
486. This is a most useful publication and one that will prove of immense
value to the Veterinary Assistants. This book will help them considerably in
bringing back to their memory what they were taught at College, and will
prove a valuable guide in correctly diagnosing and properly treating sick
horses and cattle. It has been strongly brought to the notice of the Directors
of Land Records and Agriculture, Punjab and North-Western Provinces and
Oudh, in order that they might induce the various District Boards to supply
the Veterinary Assistants employed under them with a copy.
Veterinary Quarter-
ly Journal in Urdu
by Veterinary Cap-
tain Pease.
487. This journal continues to maintain its popularity. In it, Veterinary
Assistants are encouraged to record any cases of interest which come under
their observation, and in this way Veterinary Assistants are stimulated to main-
tain a higher standard of medical and surgical knowledge.
Manual of Cattle
diseases by Syud
Sardar Shah Gilani.
488. This book has been translated into Hindi and negotiations are now
proceeding to cause it to be translated into Mahrathi for use of people in the
Hyderabad Assigned Districts. The translation into both Hindi and Mahrathi
will prove its value.
Pamphlet in Sindhi
by Asudamal,
Veterinary Assist-
ant, Hyderabad.
489. This may be described as a translation into Sindhi of Veterinary
Colonel Hallen's Primer and Veterinary Captain Pease's Manual on Horse
breeding; it also contains the standing rules of this Department for the care
of Government stallions, and to this has been added simple hints regarding
the symptoms and treatment of the more commonly met with forms of con-
tagious diseases. The pamphlet has been most favourably reviewed by the
different District Officers in Sind who have brought it to the notice of the various
Local Boards with a view of its being freely circulated.

sor Koch's methods of immunising cattle against rinderpest.

nant A. S. Trydell.
492. It will he seen that this Department, small in numbers as it is, has
done its utmost to collect useful information and to disseminate it. More
might be done had its officers time to devote to the matter, as they frequently
