77. Veterinary Graduate Patel.—The total number of cases treated during
the year was 719 against 925 last year, due to the fact
that the Veterinary Graduate was in charge of the
stationary veterinary dispensary for two months. The Itinerating Veterinary
Graduate made his head-quarters at A'nand
during the rains, and this arrangement,
judging from results, appears satisfactory.
Out of the above number 59 were horses,
597 cattle and the remainder goats, sheep,
&c. He attended outbreaks of rinderpest
at six villages in the Mátar Táluka, 370
animals being attacked, out of which 154
were cured and the remainder died. He
also attended an outbreak of gloss anthrax
at Chalati, and out of 8 animals 1 died
and 7 were cured. The same unnecessary
delay appears to have been caused as was noticed last year owing to the village
authorities not reporting outbreaks to the Veterinary Graduate at once. The
Graduate attended the Government stallions, and the work done is satisfactory.

78. Veterinary Graduate Vakhária.—Inspected by me on the 16th Decem-
ber 1896 and found to be in good order. The present
site has been lent to the Dispensary Committee for a
term of three years with option of purchase at the expiration of that period. Ne-
gotiations are being carried on with a view
to purchase and erect suitable buildings
which are urgently required. The total
number of cases during the year was 930.
In-patients 84, out-patients 846. Out of
the above number 385 were horses, 361
cattle and the remainder goats and small
animals. Eight cases of castration are re-
ported. A mild outbreak of variola vac-
cina was treated by the Veterinary Gaduate
and one case of glanders destroyed. He
attended Police horses belonging to the
Mounted Police and paid 15 visits to the Government farm. There is a slight
increase in the number of patients treated, and the work done is satisfactory.

79. Veterinary Graduate Haji.—Inspected by me on the 21st January
1897 and found to be in good order. The total num-
ber of cases treated during the year was 2,824 against
2,736 last year. In-patients 290, out-patients 2,534. Out of the above
number 1,234 were horses, 574 cattle, 237
camels, and the remainder goats, sheep, &c.
Two cases of castration are reported. The
Veterinary Graduate attended outbreaks
of aptha epizootica both in the district and
town of Karáchi and destroyed one case
of glanders in the Karáchi Cantonment.
He treated animals belonging to the Kará-
chi Municipality Zoological Gardens, and
bought remounts for the Karáchi Police.
He also assisted in the purchase of cattle
for the Ceylon Government and instructed
the police savárs how to treat simple cases. The report is very satisfactory and
the steady progress made reflects the greatest credit on the Veterinary Graduate.
