Forwarded to the Director of Agriculture.
2. The Commissioner regrets that owing to pressure of work the report
has been delayed in his office.
3. The report deals mainly with executive matters, and is, on the whole,
a satisfactory record of the work performed during the year. General questions
relating to stock and breeding are more fully treated in the special reports on
the various Horse and Cattle Fairs held in the Province. It is hoped that the
institution of a Cattle Fair at Shikárpur will prove successful in directing more
careful attention to the breeding of cattle in Upper Sind. The arrangements
referred to by the Superintendent for the provision of accommodation for
in-patients at Jacobabad will be a useful addition to the local resources of the
Department. The Commissioner concurs in the Superintendent's remarks on
the reorganization of the Department in Sind.
4. The Commissioner endorses the Superintendent's commendation of the
work of Messrs. Haji and Asudamal. He has also much pleasure in acknow¬
ledging the energy and interest devoted by Major Trydell to the Sind portion
of his charge.

ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION REPORT
OF THE

INCLUDING SIND
FOR THE
OFFICIAL YEAR 1908-1909.
No. 664 of 1909.
Bombay Veterinary College :
Parel, 22nd June 1909.
From
M. H. SOWERBY, Esq., I. C. V. D.,
Acting Principal, Bombay Veterinary College ;
To
The DIRECTOR of PUBLIC INSTRUCTION,
Poona.
SIR
I have the honour to submit this the twenty-third Annual Report of the
Bombay Veterinary College dealing with its administration during the official
year 1908-1909. During this year up to the 3th May the charge of the College
was held by Major Joslen, the permanent Principal. Mr. Dhakmarwala took
it over temporarily from him on the 9th idem and was relieved of it by me on
my return from vacation leave on the 1st July, when Mr. Ware relieved me of
the appointment of Assistant Principal. A brief outline of the duties performed
in connection with the Bai Sakerbai Dinshaw Petit Hospital for Animals for
the year ending 31st December 1908 is embodied in the report.
PROFESSIONAL EXAMINATIONS.2. The following Officers conducted the Professional Examinat
President—Colonel H. T. Pease, C.I.E., I.C.V.D., Inspector-General, Civil
Veterinary Department.
Members
Major J. Farmer, I.C.V.D., Superintendent, Government Cattle
Earrn, Hissar.
Mr. K. Hewlett, I.C.V.D., Superintendent, Civil Veterinary
Department, Bombay Presidency.
The Examinations were held from 30th November to 9th December 1908
and the results (vide Appendix A) were declared and prizes awarded on the
latter date.
From the Appendix A it will be seen that of the three classes, totalling 95
candidates that presented themselves for examination, 67 passed : a percentage
of 70.52 as against 75.43 and 80.00 in 1907 and 1906, respectively. Twenty-
three candidates appeared for the Third Professional (Diploma) Examination.
Of these 17 passed. Under College Rule 27, a Supplementary Examination for
three students who failed in one subject only at the Second Professional
Examination was held in March by Mr. E. Hewlett, Superintendent, Civil
Veterinary Department, Bombay Presidency. None of these passed.
The following are the remarks of the Board of Examiners :—
" We consider the results satisfactory. The need of Anatomical rooms
conveniently near the College was brought to notice in our last report.
A Contagious Ward and small Laboratory for teaching purposes are also
urgently needed. A still further improvement is noticeable in the
Handling of Animals.
We noticed that in several cases students had not a sufficiently good
knowledge of English to express themselves in that language, and wo
think that a somewhat higher standard of general education should be
required for admission."
During this year at the recommendation of the Inspector-General, Civil
Veterinary Department, Government sanctioned the appointment of a permanent
b 309—1
6
EXCURSION.
14. Students of Class "C" were taken on an excursion tour to the Pro¬
vince of Mysore by Mr. Shaikh, Assistant Professor of Anatomy, and to the
Bándra Slaughter House by Mr. Ware, Assistant Principal.
EQUITATION.
15. Eighteen students of Class "C" went through a course of Equitation
at the Government Body-Guard Menage at Chaupati. The grant sanctioned
allowed payment of fees for this number of students only.
STUDENTS' QUARTERS.
16. At the beginning of the year the rent for students was reduced to
Rs. 2 per student, and the number of students residing in the quarters rose
to 65 at the end of the year.
Government has, however, decided that in the case of students who are not
residents of the Bombay Presidency, the rent should be increased to Rs. 3 from
April 1909. It has been proposed to provide two Tennis Courts for students at
a cost of Rs. 600 on the piece of ground in front of their quarters.
The question of appointing a private practitioner as Medical attendant for
resident students is under the consideration of Government.
NEEDS ON TRANSFER OF THE COLLEGE TO THE NEW BUILDING.
17. (1). Fittings for the first floor of the Patho-Bacteriological Laboratory
as a Patho-Histological Class-room.
(2) Suitable new specimen jars, etc., for the Museum.
(3) Additional furniture for different offices.
(4) New benches for class-rooms, the old ones being broken and unsuitable.
(5) Cleaning and laying out the new compound.
Government has been requested to sanction a special grant of Rs. 2,000 for
expenditure during 1909-10 on such requirements as may be considered
most urgent.
Proposals have also been submitted to level the ground and repair the
walls of the new compound and put up gas-lamps and water-taps there.
NATIVE PROFESSORS' QUARTERS.
18. Further alterations to the quarters of the Native Professors at a cost
of Rs. 1,825 have been proposed and plans and estimates on this account have
been approved.
19. Appendix D is the financial statement of the College and Appendix E
is the statement showing the main results.
PATHO-BACTERIOLOGICAL LABORATORY.
20. During the year this has been in very constant use for cases in the
Hospital and in connection with the Glanders and Farcy Department. It has
also been utilised as the Bacteriological Laboratory for the Civil Veterinary
Department in the Bombay Presidency and numbers of specimens have been
submitted for diagnosis by Graduates in charge of the different Veterinary
dispensaries. It is anticipated that when the Civil Veterinary Department in
this Presidency is reorganised many more specimens will be forwarded and
work in the Laboratory will be considerably developed.
The question of building a new Bacteriological Laboratory on the new
College premises is still under consideration of Government.
MUSEUM.
21. Twenty-six museum specimens were received during the year, mostly
from Graduates in charge of Local Board Veterinary Dispensaries. The speci¬
mens consisted of diseased limbs, abnormalities, biting flies and photographs of
typical diseases of animals.
7
Many pathological specimens which had undergone decomposition were
replaced by new specimens from the Hospital.
22. The Teaching Staff have performed their duties satisfactorily.
Mr. Dhakmarwala has been very prompt and painstaking in the performance
of any extra work he has been called upon to do and Mr. Shaik has been very
zealous in connection with his extra duty in the Museum.
23. On the death of Mr. Ranade, the Second Clerk, Mr. Palnitker, who
was acting for him, was confirmed in the place. He promises to be a good
clerk. Mr. Phatak, the Head Clerk, has shown much zeal and performed his
duties quite satisfactorily.
24. I wish to thank Mr. Doctor, the Secretary of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for his cordial co-operation and the great
assistance he gives by promptly carrying out any suggestions made in connec-
tion with the Hospital.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
M. H. SOWERBY, I. C. V. D.,
Acting Principal, Bombay Veterinary College.

SIR,
I have the honour to submit the Annual Report of the Glanders and
Farcy Department in Bombay for the year 1908-1909. During this year up
to the 8th May the charge of this Department was held by Major Joslen.
Mr. Dhakmarwala took it over temporarily from him on the 9th idem and was
relieved of it by me on the 1st July.
2. During this year 128 horses were admitted into the Government
Lazaretto at Sewree as against 142 and 197 in 1907-08 and 1906-07, respect-
ively.
Out of the admissions there were two confirmed cases of Glanders, 71
confirmed cases of Surra, 40 suspicious cases, and 15 Contacts. Out of 40
suspicious cases 21 reacted to Mallein and were destroyed, two were found to be
suffering from Epizootic Lymphangitis, 2 died free from diseases scheduled
under the Act, and 15 were returned to their owners. Out of the 15 Contacts,
4 reacted to the Mallein test and were destroyed, one proved to be suffering
from Surra and was also destroyed, and 10 were returned to their owners as
they were found to be free from disease.
The total number of horses destroyed for Glanders during this year was 27
as against 29 and 41 in 1907-08 and 1906-07, respectively. Two horses suffer-
ing from Epizootic Lymphangitis were destroyed as against 1 and 2 in 1907-08
and 1906-07, respectively. Seventy-two horses suffering from Surra were
destroyed as against 73 and 144 in 1907-08 and 1906-07, respectively.
Of the 27 horses destroyed for Glanders, 17 belonged to Arab dealers, 2 to
Persian dealers, 4 to private individuals, 3 to owners of carriages plying for
hire, and 1 was ownerless. Of the 2 horses destroyed for Epizootic Lymphan-
gitis 1 belonged to a private individual and 1 to an Arab dealer. Of the 72
horses destroyed for Surra 48 belonged to owners of carriages plying for hire,
22 to private individuals and 2 to the Bombay Mounted Police.
Out of the total number of 128 horses admitted into the Lazaretto
58 belonged to owners of carriages plying for hire, 38 to private individuals, 27 to

ownerless.
The different classes of horses admitted into the Sewree Lazaretto this
year were as follows :—Arabs 94, Walers 16, Country-bred 13, and Persians 5.
Of these Glanders accounted for the destruction of 24 Arabs, 2 Persians and
1 Waler, Epizootic Lymphangitis for 2 Arabs, and Surra for 51 Arabs, 11
Country-bred, 7 Walers and 3 Persians.
