Quality of lymph.
12. Throughout the year the lymph has been excellent.
The Agency Surgeon, Jhallawar and Kotah, reports that the lymph forwarded to him was
successful in every case. Dr. Elliot, Noakachari, says " the lymph has been of excellent
quality all round." Dr. Johns, Chandkhira, Sylhet, says " the cases done from the former two boxes
I got from you have been very successful."
Remarks on hospital assistant.
13. Hospital Assistant Chandra Nath Chand was in charge from the beginning of the year
to the middle of October and worked zealously. Hospital
Assistant Kamal Charan Datta was in charge from the middle
of October to the end of March, i.e., during almost the whole of the working season, and deserves
great credit for the excellence of his work.
General.
14. The work is still carried on in temporary buildings erected after the earthquake.
During the non-working season of 1899-1900 the new dep6t
will be finished it is hoped. The work has already been com-
menced. The same contract for calves as was given last year has been given for next year. It
has been found a very satisfactory contract.

APPENDIX B.
Extract from remarks by Colonel C. W. Carr-Calthrop on the
preservation of Bovine Vaccine Lymph.
(a) Bovine vaccine lymph can be used fresh only where there is an establishment in which
the calves can be inoculated and children vaccinated on the premises direct from the calf. To
take calves sick from the vaccine fever about from place to place, would cause a very serious
mortality amongst them and would in my opinion be very likely to cause a " scare" in the place
where the vaccinators were about to work, and I think in many places the temper and prejudices
of the people would never allow the operations to be done.
(b) The preservation of the lymph is therefore necessary: this can be done in two ways,
namely, by admixture with lanoline or by solution in a mixture of glycerine and water. There
may possibly be other means of preserving it, but we are only concerned with these two methods.
(c) The first is easy, rapid and cheap, but it is open to various objections ; and is used in the
Shillong depôt, only for the preparation of virus intended to be used in the depôt itself for
inoculating calves: the small pots in which the mixture is kept are emptied at one time, each
calf having a separate pot, and these pots are not allowed to be opened, part of the contents used
and the rest kept for a future occasion. This is to avoid risks of contamination.
(d) If lanoline lymph were supplied to district vaccinators, they would have to carry their
opened pots about with them, setting them down on the ground, in the sunshine, in the dust, any-
where, putting in a dirty or bloody lancet from time to time, and, in fact, exposing the virus to
various chances of deterioration.
(e) For district use therefore the second form of preservation is solely used. The vaccine
matter as scraped from the abdomens of the vaccinifers is pounded up with a mixture of glycerine
and water in the proportion of 2 parts of the solid matter, and 1 part each of glycerine and water, by
weight. This forms a slightly viscous solution or rather emulsion, which is just sufficiently
limpid to flow up into capillary tubes, which are then hermetically sealed by fusing their ends in
the flame of a spirit lamp.
(f) The advantages of this plan are many and obvious: there is no possibility of foreign
matter getting mixed with the virus, it cannot be contaminated by a part being laid on the arm
of a child and a portion of this then put back into the mass; each child receives the contents
of one tube: the virus is kept hermetically sealed and the atmosphere can have no effect on it.
(g) The defects of the plan are that it is troublesome, laborious and more expensive than
simple admixture with lanoline, but its many manifest advantages compensate for this many times
over.
(h) The admixture of glycerine and water in the proportion given above does not at all
interfere with the efficacy of the vaccine germs, and it is certain that they will keep their potency
for three or four months, which is more than we require.

6. The number of recorded deaths from small-pox in the eleven towns in which
Compulsory Vaccination Acts were in force was 25, or 0.35 per 1,000, as compared with
0.41 per 1,000 in 1897. The corresponding figures for the province, as a whole, were
1.03 and 1.08 per 1,000, respectively. The greatest mortality from small-pox occurred
in the Nowgong district,—a fact which emphasises the necessity for pushing on vaccin-
ation with greater activity there. In contrast to the general apathy on the subject in
Nowgong, the Chief Commissioner is glad to acknowledge the service rendered by
Pandit Gunahash Gosvami, Tahsildar of Roha, in spreading vaccination in his tahsil.
7. The Chief Commissioner is indebted to Colonel Carr-Calthrop for the special
attention he has bestowed to the supervision of this department.
By order of the Chief Commissioner of Assam,
F. J. MONAHAN
Secretary to the Chief Commissioner of Assam.

13. Annual Statement No. V deals with verification
of the work.
Excluding the vaccinations done on tea gardens, 260,746 operations were
performed. The District Civil Medical Officers inspected 27,277, against 22,577 last
season ; the inspectors saw 121,660, against 133,681. The Civil Medical Officers have
