animals were treated during the year against 770 last
year, showing a very satisfactory increase in spite
of bubonic plague. Out of the above number 140
were horses, 573 cattle, and the remainder sheep,
goats, &c. Two in-patients and 1,028 out-patients. No
outbreaks are reported, but a few isolated cases of
rinderpest and foot and mouth disease were treated.
The Veterinary Graduate was employed on plague
duty, in addition to his own work, for four months of
the year. The dispensary shows steady progress, and
the work done is satisfactory.

68. Veterinary Graduate Kulkarni.—The dispensary was in charge of
Veterinary Graduate Kulkarni from 1st April to the
21st May 1897. He was then relieved by Veterinary
Graduate Soman, who remained in charge until the 18th December, when the
permanent incumbent again assumed charge until the
end of the year. The total number of cases treated
was 854 against 585 last year, horses 69, cattle 749,
and the remainder sheep, goats, &c. The Veterinary
Graduate attended outbreaks of rinderpest at Sindad
and Akhatwáda in the Páchora Táluka, when 48
animals died out of 64 attacked. He also attended
outbreaks of foot and mouth disease, and assisted the
authorities in bubonic plague measures adopted in
the district. This was the only dispensary not in-
spected during the year, as I was unable to reach it
owing to the floods which existed at the time I was
touring in that district. The report is satisfactory and shows gradual improve-
ment.

69. Veterinary Graduate Sanga.—Inspected on the 1st October 1897
and found to be in good order. The total number of
cases treated during the year amounted to 718. In-
patients 320 and out-patients 398. Out of the above number 258 were horses, 136
cattle and the remainder goats, dogs, &c.
The Veterinary Graduate visited 73 vil-
lages in the Poona District during the
months of December, January and Feb-
ruary and states that all the villages visited
by him contained animals suffering from
foot and mouth disease. He attended the
cows at the Government Dairy Farm,
Kirkee, and assisted the teaching stall at
the College of Science. The suggestion of
the Graduate that a shoeing forge should
be attached to the dispensary is, I think, a
good one, and if properly managed, should be a source of considerable income. It
is to be regretted that some arrangement cannot be made with the Poona and
Kirkee Cantonment Magistrates whereby a certain percentage of the fines be
given to the dispensary, as 40 cruelty cases were treated during the year. There
is a slight improvement over the number treated last year, and the report is satis-
