Graduate assumed charge of the stationary dispensary at Dhulia during the
absence on leave of the permanent incumbent. The
total number of cases treated during the year was 782
against 490 last year. Out of the above number, 62
were horses, 725 cattle, and the remainder sheep, &c.
The Veterinary Graduate attended three outbreaks of
rinderpest and one of aptha epizootica and was unable
to attend two other outbreaks of the former disease, as
he was in charge of the Veterinary Dispensary at
Dhulia. It is to be regretted that, owing to the roundabout method of reporting
outbreaks, he did not arrive, in several cases, in time to do much good. A more
rapid system has now been introduced which I trust will have better results.
The report is satisfactory and shows progress.

67. Veterinary Graduate Judah Hyam.—This dispensary, which was ori-
ginally attached to the College of Science, was handed
over to the Veterinary Dispensary Committee on the
1st October 1895. It fulfills a two-fold purpose, as in addition to treating cases,
&c., veterinary instruction is given by the Graduate to the students of the
Agricultural Class in the College of Science, and the theoretical portion of the
course is supplemented by showing them all the practical and clinical work of
the dispensary. The total number of cases during
the year was 608 against 548 last year. In-patients
474. Out-patients 134. Out of the above cases, 262
were horses, 149 cattle, and the remainder sheep, dogs,
&c. Three cases of surra were treated, two of which
were sent by the Commissioner of Police, Bombay,
and one left by Dr. Lingard ; they all proved fatal.
The Veterinary Graduate attended to the cattle at the
Government Dairy Farm and mild outbreaks of rinder-
pest and aptha epizootica. The report is satisfactory, but the attention of the
Graduate should be drawn to the fact that some of the appendices are wanting,
and the report, in consequence, is incomplete.

Belgaum.
68. Veterinary Graduate Moduk.—The total number of cases during the
year was 1,559 against 1,455 last year. In-patients
47. Out-patients 1,512. Out of the above cases, 267
were horses, 779 cattle, and the remainder sheep, goats, &c. Eight cases of
castration are reported. The small number of in-
patients is due to the fact that the accommodation is
limited ; and, taking into consideration the success of
the institution, it is very necessary that steps should
be taken to provide more suitable buildings. The
Veterinary Graduate attended outbreaks of rinderpest
in the Belgaum Táluka and paid a large number of
visits to owners' houses. The services of an itinerat-
ing Veterinary Graduate are urgently needed in this
district, as the stationary Veterinary Graduate owing
to press of work is unable to leave the dispensary. There is a steady increase
in the number of cases treated, and the report is satisfactory.
