No. 29-54-C.
Karáchi, 26th June 1909.
From
MAJOR A. S. TRYDELL, I. C. V. D.,
Superintendent, Indian Civil Veterinary Department,
Sind, Baluchistan and Rajputána ;
To
THE UNDER SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
Revenue Department, Bombay.
(Through the Commissioner in Sind, Karáchi.)
Sir,
I have the honour to submit for the consideration of His Excellency the
Governor in Council the Annual Administration Report of the Indian Civil
Veterinary Department in Sind for the official year 1908-1909.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.
2. I held charge of the office of Superintendent, Indian Civil Veterinary
Department, Sind, Baluchistan and Rájputána, throughout the year under
report.
3. I toured through the districts of Upper Sind Frontier, Lárkhána and
Sukkur, and inspected all the Veterinary Dispensaries in the Province. I also
attended the Jacobabad, Shikárpur (Sukkur District) and Talhar (Hyderabad
District) cattle shows. I travelled 4,902 miles by rail and 508 by road against
2,878 and 339 respectively travelled last year.
I.—VETERINARY INSTRUCTION—VETERINARY COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS.
4. There are no Colleges or Schools in the Province.
II.—TREATMENT OF DISEASE.
(1) Contagious disease, outbreaks, mortality, preventive inoculation, etc.
5. Reports of outbreaks of contagious diseases have been received from
3 districts only and the number of deaths therefrom are shown in Table II, viz.,
4 amongst equines, 1,753 bovines and 173 other animals against 4 deaths
amongst equines, 221 bovines and 11 other animals reported last year. These
numbers are infinitesimal in comparison with the stock in the Province, which
probably run into millions.
Equines.
Surra.—Vide Table II, one death is reported in Karachi and 1 in Hyder-
abad District from this disease against 1 death reported last year in Sukkur
District.
None of the Veterinary Graduates in the Province appear to have paid
much attention as to the existence of this disease which is unsatisfactory. I am
fairly confident that it must be present to some extent in each district at times.
It is known as "Sar" or "Sur" in places I have been to in the Province.
Bovines.
Rinderpest.—The disease broke out in the town of Karachi at the close of
the year 1907-1908 and continued during the year under report. There was

Below letter No. 29—54-C, dated the 26th June 1906, from the Superintendent,
Civil Veterinary Department, Sind, Baluchistan and Rajputána, and
accompaniments.
No. G.—325 or 1909.
GENERAL DEPARTMENT :
Office of the Commissioner in Sind,
Government House, Karachi, 20th July 1909.
Submitted to Government.
2. This is the first report to be transmitted direct to Government in
accordance with the orders in Government Resolution No. 1545, dated the 12th
February 1909, instead of being forwarded to the Director of Agriculture. The
Commissioner has little to add to the full and comprehensive report submitted
by Major Trydell.
3. It is interesting to observe the large increase in the numbers of inocu-
lations against rinderpest which were performed during the year under report,
and the success which attended the operation as recorded in Table III.
The Commissioner concurs in the opinion that an inexperienced veterinary
graduate should not have been deputed to deal with the outbreak of rinderpest
in the Karachi district, and a copy of Major Trydell's remarks on the subject
will be communicated to the District Local Board.
4. With reference to the remarks in paragraph 11 of the report regarding
" Surra, " the Acting Commissioner would observe that the matter has been fully
disposed of in correspondence with the Superintendent, and need not therefore
have been referred to again at such unnecessary length in the administration
report. As however the Superintendent has admitted controversial matter into
his report, the Acting Commissioner wishes again to assure Government that
Mr. Haji is an officer of exceptional zeal and real ability, and that his successful
efforts in scientific research, which deserve every encouragement, in no way
interfere with the discharge of his practical duties at his dispensary.
5. The note on the question of the value of shows referred to in para-
graph 11 of the report, has been submitted separately under this office
No. G.—301, dated the 5th July 1909.
6. Major Trydell's report on the re-organization of the subordinate
veterinary service in Sind has just been received and is under consideration.
The Acting Commissioner hopes to be able to submit it to Government at an
early date.
7. Major Trydell has again displayed marked energy and interest in his
work.

BOMBAY VETERINARY COLLEGE:
Parel, 1st June 1910.
From
M. H. SOWERBY, ESQ., I.C.V.D.,
Principal, Bombay Veterinary College ;
To
THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION,
Poona.
Sir,
I have the honour to submit this, the twenty-fourth Annual Report of the
Bombay Veterinary College, dealing with its administration during the official
year 1909-10. During this year I acted as Principal up to 8th November when
the late Lieutenant-Colonel Joslen returned from leave and took charge of the
appointment which he held up to 28th February, the date on which he died
from the effects of a carriage accident. On his death I took charge of the
appointment which I held up to the end of the official year. Prom the begin-
ning of the year up to 8th November while I acted as Principal Mr. P. Ware,
I.C.V.D., acted as Assistant Principal. On 8th November 1909 when Lieutenant-
Colonel Joslen relieved me of the office of Principal I relieved Mr. Ware of
the office of Assistant Principal. Since 1st March I have held the sub. pro tem.
appointment of Principal, Mr. Dhakmarwala, of Assistant Principal, Mr. Vakha-
ria, of Professor of Bovine Pathology, Mr. Phadke, of Assistant Professor of
Chemistry and Mr. Pillai, of Curator and Laboratory Assistant.
These
arrangements are to hold good until Mr. Hewlett takes charge of the office of
Principal.
A brief outline of the duties performed in connection with the Bai
Sakarbai Dinshaw Petit Hospital for animals for the year ending 31st December
1909 is embodied in the report.
PROFESSIONAL EXAMINATIONS.
2. The following Officers conducted the Professional Examinations :—
President—Colonel H. T. Pease, C.I.E., I.C.V.D., Inspector-General, Civil
Veterinary Department.
Major J. Farmer, I.C.V.D., Superintendent, Government
Cattle Farm, Hissar.
Members
Hewlett, I.C.V.D., Superintendent, Civil Veterinary
Department, Bombay Presidency.
The Examinations were held from 29th November to 8th December 1909.
The results, vide Appendix A, were declared and the prizes awarded on the
latter date.
Prom Appendix A, it will be seen that of the three classes totalling 99
candidates, that presented themselves for examination, 71 passed ; a percentage
of 71.71 as against 70.52 and 75.43 in 1908 and 1907, respectively. No candi-
dates who failed at the above examinations were eligible to appear for the
Supplementary Examination to be held under College rule 27.
The following are the remarks of the Board of Examiners:—
" We understand that sanction has been accorded to the provision of
Anatomical Rooms, Contagious Disease Ward and small Laboratory which
are urgently needed. Considering the conveniences available for teaching
at present the results of the examinations are satisfactory."
