NationalLibraryOfScotland/medical-history-of-british-india huggingface dataset:
and energy, and his invariable willingness to carry out any work which might
prove of interest made him most valuable to me when dealing with the Cattle
Section of this Department, still I felt that when the re-organization of the
Hissar Cattle Farm was confided to this Department, it was necessary to ensure
the services of the best officer available, and I look with confidence to the
results which Veterinary Captain Gunn is likely to bring about.
798. It may seem invidious to mention any particular officers in a small
Department where all have done their best, but I feel compelled to bring to
the notice of the Government of India the names of Veterinary Major Raymond
and of Veterinary Captain Evans.
799. The former may be said to have done the work of three officers, for
not only has he carried on the duties of the Bengal Veterinary College with
marked success, but he has most efficiently supervised the general working of
the Department in the Province, and in addition to this he has done a vast
amount of original research work connected with Rinderpest and with the
hides of animals that have died of that disease.
800. In Veterinary Captain Evans, the Department possesses an officer
with great powers of organization and unlimited zeal and energy. The success
obtained in Burma, in which Province the organization of the subordinate staff
and the work done by it are far in advance of that in any other Province, is
entirely due to this officer.
801. My best thanks are due to all Local Governments and Administrations,
and to the many District Officers for the ready help which they have afforded
me, and I would beg to express my warmest thanks to Mr. Giles, C.I.E.,
Officiating Commissioner in Sind, for the assistance he has given me in placing
horse and mule-breeding in that Province on a satisfactory basis.
802. To the Chiefs of the many Native States which I have visited I would
tender my warmest thanks for the hearty manner in which they have co-opera-
ted with me in the extension of horse and mule-breeding in their territories.
