Belgaum.
67. Veterinary Graduate Mr. Fernandez.—Inspected by me on the 12th of
December 1894 and found to be in good order. The
present site, however, is unsuitable and accommodation
for in-patients quite inadequate. The dispensary has under these disadvan-
tageous conditions continued to do good work, and I think that the time has now
arrived when steps should be taken to select a new site and erect suitable build-
ings. The Veterinary Graduate was appointed Lecturer at the Veterinary
College, Calcutta, on the 1st of September 1894, and the combined duties of the
Stationary and Itinerating Dispensaries have since that date been performed by
the Veterinary Graduate Mr. Modak. The total number of animals treated
amounted to 1,455 against 821 last year, the in-patients only numbering 37.
Rinderpest was prevalent in the district during the year, and out of 473 animals
attacked and treated, 356 were shown as cured. This percentage is very high.
The report is satisfactory and good work has been done. Six cases of castra-
tions are reported—

Belgaum (Itinerating).
68. Veterinary Graduate Mr. Modak.—The report extends over a period
of 5 months and 11 days, as he took charge of the
Stationary Dispensary on the 19th of September 1894.
He travelled over Sampgaon, Belgaum, and Athni Tálukas, and was active in
checking the spread and treating outbreaks of rinderpest. The total number
of animals treated amounted to 657, of which 141 were rinderpest. Only one
case of castration is reported. The report is satisfactory.
Ahmedabad.
69. Veterinary Graduate Mr. Bhat.—Inspected by me on the 9th of May
1894 and 13th of March 1895, and found to be in
good order. The total number of patients treated
during the year amounted to 1,280 against 1,128 last year. The Graduate during
the year attended the Friday weekly markets, visited 10 villages in the Prantij
Táluka where gloss-anthrax was prevalent, and distributed pamphlets on
the measures to be adopted for the suppression of contagious diseases. He
inspected the horses belonging to the Police, paid 110 visits to owners' houses,
attended the Government stallions, and visited the Pinjrápol once a week. No
cases of castration are reported. The Graduate has submitted an interesting
report and is zealous in the performance of his duties :—

70. Veterinary Graduate Mr. Maniar.—Inspected by me on the 6th of
May 1894 and again on the 17th March 1895, and
found to be in a satisfactory condition. The new dis-
pensary has been occupied and should make a considerable difference in the
number of in-patients. The total number of animals treated amounted to
1,383, against 1,208 last year, 9 only of which were in-patients. A slight out-
break of gloss-anthrax occurred in the town of Nadiád and was easily sup-
pressed, only 65 animals dying. The Graduate paid 56 visits to owners' houses,
and has done good work throughout the year. Greater use appears to have
been made of the institution by the surrounding villagers than in former
years: —
