treated by the Graduate, "but the district throughout the year appears to have
been particularly healthy.
151. Four cases of castration are reported.

Hyderabad.
153. This dispensary was opened on the 14th of May 1893 and inspected
by me on the 24th of January 1894. It was in good
working order and in a thoroughly clean and sanitary
state. The present site as a temporary measure is suitable although the accom-
modation for in-patients is limited.
154. The total number of animals treated amounted to 825, of which
only 60 were in-patients.
155. The Veterinary Graduate treated outbreaks of aptha-epizootica,
attended the Shikárpur and Moro Horse Shows and paid 108 visits to owners'
stables. The report reflects great credit on him. It is clear and concise and
states what measures he has adopted to make the institution popular.
156. The Hyderabad Local Board have sent a man to the Bombay
Veterinary College to. qualify himself for the post of Itinerating Veterinary
Graduate.
157. Receipts Rs. 2,863-5-0. Expenditure Rs. 2,056-7-9. Balance
Rs. 806-13-3.
Karachi.
158. This dispensary was inspected by me on the 20th of January 1894
and found to be in good working order. The sanitary
arrangements are somewhat defective and the accom-
modation for in-patients quite inadequate. The proposed site for the new
dispensary is suitable in every way and I would strongly urge the necessity of
endeavouring by private subscription and otherwise to collect sufficient funds to
complete the work as soon as possible. The total number of animals treated
amounted to 1,581 against 290 last year. This is the largest number that has
been treated at any dispensary and shows a marked increase over last year.
159. Only one case of rinderpest, three of aptha-epizootica and three
of glanders have occurred in the district. The Veterinary Graduate paid a visit
to Dasai Kalian's village, 18 miles from Karáchi, to investigate a disease present-
ing symptoms of "Rot" amongst goats which had been prevalent for two years.
He is of opinion that it is due to bad pasturage and unclean feeding, but no
figures are given as to the mortality, &c. He treated the animals of the Police,
Municipality, Zoological Gardens, and examined all Police remounts prior to
purchase. His services were also called into requisition to assist in the purchase
of dairy cattle for the Bombay and Ceylon Governments.
160. Only three cases of castration are reported.
161. The report reflects great credit on the Veterinary Graduate, and the
rapid increase of patients denotes that he is carrying on the duties in an intel-
ligent and satisfactory manner and making the institution thoroughly popular.
162. Receipts Rs. 3,655-0-0. Expenditure Rs. 3,157-3-10. Balance
Rs. 497-12-2.
Shikárpur.
163. I inspected this dispensary on the 12th of January 1894 and found
it to be in fair working order. The present site is too
far from the city and bazár, and it is to be hoped that
the proposed change to a larger and more conveniently situated site will be
beneficial. Opened on the 15th of May 1893. The total number of cases since
that date amounts to 718, a most satisfactory beginning.
164. One case of aptha-epizootica was treated by the Veterinary Graduate.
He attended the Shikárpur Horse Show, paid frequent visits to sick animals at
owners' stables, visited the Government stallions at Shikárpur, Khairpur,
Nathai Shah and Lárkhána.
165. No case of castration is reported.
166. Receipts Rs. 2,660-0-0. Expenditure Rs. 2,488-5-0. Balance
Rs. 171-11-0.
