mainder goats, sheep, &c. He attended outbreaks of epidemic diseases at 10
villages, was active in his movements
throughout the district, attended the Gov-
ernment stallions, and the work done shows
progress, and is satisfactory. The figures
for receipts, &c., are included in the review

76. Veterinary Graduate Vakhariya.—Inspected on the 25th November
1897. The outbuildings were dirty and in an insani-
tary state, and considerable carelessness was displayed
by the Graduate in his work. It is to be regretted no progress has been made
to complete the negotiations that were being carried on with a view to purchase
a site and construct the necessary buildings which are urgently required. The
total number of cases treated amounted to 980 against 930 last year, which must
be considered satisfactory considering the
prevalence of bubonic plague. 59 in-
patients and 921 out-patients. Out of the
above number, 445 were horses, 394 cattle
and the remainder goats, dogs, &c. A mild
outbreak of foot and mouth disease in the
town was treated by the Graduate. He
attended Police horses and animals at the
Government farm and paid 50 visits to
owners' houses. Only 4 cases of castra-
tion are reported. The report is satis-
factory.

77. Veterinary Graduate Haji.—Inspected on the 5th March 1898 and
found to be in excellent order. During the year 2,232
animals were treated against 2,824 last year, the
decrease being due to plague and the general unsettled state of the town. In-
patients 208 and out-patients 2,024. Out
of the above number, 874 were horses, 450
cattle, 187 camels and the remainder goats,
sheep, &c. The Veterinary Graduate at-
tended outbreaks of foot and mouth
disease and rinderpest in the town of
Karachi. He appears to have been very
successful in dealing with these outbreaks,
as the mortality was small and the disease
rapidly stamped out. He also attended a
somewhat severe outbreak of rinderpest
in the district and was equally successful
in dealing with it. The isolation arrangements in the town are very good and
no difficulty appears to have been experienced in persuading owners to bring
their rinderpest cattle to these wards. He made all arrangements for the dis-
embarkation, locating and despatching of Government stallions, attended the
animals of the Zoological Gardens, Mounted Police, and paid over 600 visits to
owners' houses. The Ceylon Government requisitioned his services for the pur-
chase of milch cattle, and all Police remounts were examined by him prior to pur-
chase. 7 cases of castration are reported (3 horses and 4 bulls). The system
of levying fees on wealthy people for the treatment of their animals appears to
have been satisfactory and resulted in a net gain of Rs. 1,011-10-0 towards the dis-
pensary. The receipts for the shoeing forge, viz., 254-4-0, are not so satisfactory,
but it is yet early to form an opinion on this point, as this branch of the dispen-
sary has only been in working order since September 1897. The report is as
