72. Veterinary Graduate Patel.—The total
number of cases treated during the year was 925
against 703 last year. Out of the whole number, 77
were horses, 821 cattle, and the remainder camels,
goats, &c. The Veterinary Graduate attended attacks
of gloss anthrax in the A'nand and Borsad tálukas and
attacks of aptha epizootica in the Kapadvanj, Borsad
Mehmadabad and A'nand tálukas. The mortality in
the former was high, as 220 died out of 233 attacked.
Unnecessary delay appears to have been caused through
the village authorities not reporting outbreaks to the
Veterinary Graduate at once. Steps have been taken
to prevent this in future. The report is satisfactory
and shows general improvement throughout.

73. Veterinary Graduate Vakharia.—This is the first complete year of this
dispensary ; and taking into consideration that the Gra-
duate has been working at a disadvantage with regard to
accommodation, the results are very satisfactory. It is to be hoped that a suit-
able site will be obtained during the year for a permanent dispensary. The
total number of cases during the year was
738. In-patients 58. Out-patients 680.
Out of the above number, 282 were horses,
300 cattle, and the remainder sheep, &c.
Six cases of castration are reported. An
outbreak of malignant sore-throat in the
Olpád Táluka resulted in the death of 50
animals, the majority of which died in 24
hours. Outbreaks of aptha epizootica and
variola vaccina were treated by the
Veterinary Graduate. He paid 50 visits
to owners' houses and assisted the Administrator of the Sachin State in the
purchase of horses for the Mounted Police. The dispensary is evidently making
good headway, as villagers from long distances bring their cattle to be treated.

74. Veterinary Graduate Háji.—Inspected by me on the 17th December
1895 and found to be in good order, with the exception
of the in-patients' lines which were in a dirty state.
The new buildings, which afford ample accommodation and are thoroughly suit-
able, were occupied on the 1st April 1895. The total number of cases treated
during the year was 2,736 against 2,241
last year. In-patients 381. Out-patients
2,355. Out of the above number 1,166
were horses, 28 donkeys, 694 cattle, 179
camels, and the remainder sheep, goats and
dogs. Three cases of castration are re-
ported. The Veterinary Graduate attend-
ed outbreaks of rinderpest and foot and
mouth disease and was prompt in dealing
with two cases of glanders which occurred
in the cantonments. He treated animals
belonging to the Karáchi Municipality, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, the Karáchi Police, the Zoological Gardens, and examined all Police
remounts prior to purchase. The report is most satisfactory, and great credit
Of those treated.
