Suspension of the Pilgrimage.
No. 1. Government of India, Home Department, Notification No. 66, dated the 21st
January 1897.
It is notified for general information that the Government of Bom-
bay have, in consequence of the existence of bubonic plague in the
cities of Bombay and Karachi, temporarily cancelled, with effect from
the 1st February 1897, the orders appointing these places to be ports
under section 701 of the Pilgrim Ships Act, XIV of 1895, from which
pilgrim ships may depart or proceed, and at which they may discharge
pilgrims. The ports of Calcutta and Madras remain open to pilgrim
traffic.
No. 2
Government of India, Home Department, Notification No. 507, dated the 16th
February 1897.
In exercise of the powers conferred by section 2, sub-section 1
of the Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897, the Governor General in Council
is pleased to direct that no person resident permanently or temporarily
in the Bombay Presidency or Sind, and no person who, though not
resident in the Bombay Presidency or Sind, has entered the Bombay
Presidency or Sind with the object of proceeding on a pilgrimage to
the Hedjaz shall, until further orders, be permitted to embark on any
ship at any port in British India with the object of making a pilgrim-
age to the Hedjaz.
The Governor General in Council is further pleased to direct that
all persons who have entered the Bombay Presidency or Sind with the
object of proceeding to the Hedjaz shall be placed in a camp of obser-
vation until such time as the medical officer in charge shall satisfy
himself that all risk of the occurrence of plague among them has been
completely abated. They shall then be sent to their homes and the
railway expenses of their journey shall be met by the State.

The pilgrimage to Mecca.
[App. XII.
No. 3.
Government of India, Home Department, Notification No. 625, dated the 20th ]
February 1897.
The question of the suspension of the pilgrimage to the Hedjaz
having been under the consideration of the Government of India and
Her Majesty's Government, Her Majesty's Government have now
come to the conclusion that, in consequence of the strong opinions of
all European Governments, including Turkey, regarding the danger of
plague being communicated to Europe, it is impossible to meet their
demands by any measure short of the suspension of the pilgrimage
for the time being.
The Governor General in Council is therefore pleased, under
section 2, sub-section I of the Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897, to order
that the pilgrimage to the Hedjaz shall be altogether suspended for the
current season.
Return of Pilgrims from Mecca.
No. 4.
Government of Bombay, Notification No. 3118-A., dated the 5th June 1897.
Whereas the City of Bombay is visited by an attack of a danger-
ous epidemic disease, namely, Bubonic Plague, and whereas it is
necessary to prevent the spread of such disease, and whereas the
Governor in Council thinks that the ordinary provisions of the law for
the time being in force are insufficient for the purpose, he is pleased,
under the powers conferred upon him by the Governor General in
Council under Act III of 1897, to make the following temporary
regulations to be observed by the public and by all persons whom
they may concern :—
1. The master of every vessel, including buggalows and every
kind of native craft, arriving at the port of Bombay with
Muhammadan pilgrims from Mecca and ports in the Red
Sea shall report the same at the earliest possible moment
to the Health Officer of the Port through the Pilot or Water
Police or other boarding officer.
2. The master shall anchor his vessel in the stream and shall not
permit the departure or landing of any of his crew or
passengers until permitted so to do by the Health Officer
of the Port or the Commissioner of Police, Bombay.
3. All Muhammadan pilgrims arriving by any such vessel as
aforesaid shall on demand give their names and addresses
and mention their intentions regarding future movements to
the Health Officer of the Port and the Water Police or
other Police authority requiring such information.

4. The Commissioner of Police, Bombay, may, if necessary, make
suitable arrangements to effectuate the detention, on

ANNUAL REPORT
OP THE
CIVIL VETERINARY DEPARTMENT, BENGAL,
For the year 1904-1905.
PREFACE.
1. Charge.—Major F. Raymond was in charge of the Civil Veterinary
Department, Bengal, and the Bengal Veterinary College, until the 18th of
October, 1904, when he made over charge to me and went on leave. A
proposal for making the office of the Superintendent of the Civil Veterinary
Department and the Principal of the Bengal Veterinary College two indepen-
dent charges is now under the consideration of Government.
2. Tour.—During the year Major Raymond was out on tour for 42 days
and travelled 489 miles by rail and 405 miles by road. I was on tour for 54
days and travelled 8,924 miles by rail, 257 miles by road and 398 miles by
steamer.
II.—TREATMENT OF DISEASE.
3. (1) Contagious diseases, &c.—Table II gives the number of deaths from
contagious diseases during the year under report.
(a) Equines.—There were 447 cases of deaths from Glanders and Farcy,
of which 413 cases were diagnosed in the district of 24-Parganas alone (93 cases
at the Belgachia College hospital and 320 cases at the Sodepur Pinjrapole,
which receives nearly all of its inmates from Calcutta). The existence of the
disease will be better shown up as soon as the Glanders and Farcy Act is
brought into force in Calcutta. Very few other cases of equine contagious
diseases have been reported as will be seen from Table II.
(b) Bovines.—Rinderpest, Foot-and-mouth and Anthrax were the principal
contagious diseases dealt with. The first-named largely predominated and
was most noticeable in the districts of Rajshahi, Patna, Shahabad and the
Sonthal Parganas. In Shahabad it was particularly rife.
4. Table III shows that no less than 13,276 inoculations for Rinderpest
were carried out against 9,454 in 1903-1904. The percentage of deaths after
inoculation is very small.
5. Foot-and-mouth disease again caused a large number of deaths in
Ranchi, which is the only district where it took anything like an epidemic form.
6. Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia broke out rather badly in the Sonthal
Parganas, where 611 animals are reported to have succumbed to it.
7. Anthrax.—This disease mainly appeared in the districts of Mymensingh,
Hazaribagh, and Ranchi. There were no other diseases of an epidemic nature
worth mentioning.
8. Temporary veterinary aid was given to the districts of Hazaribagh,
Angul, Shahabad, Khulna, Jessore, Monghyr, Puri, Gaya, Manbhum, Howrah,
Darjeeling and the 24-Parganas and also to the Calcutta Municipal Gowkhanas
and the Zoological Gardens by deputing the Staff Veterinary Assistants to
inoculate cattle with anti-rinderpest serum and to give advice as to the
preventive measures to be adopted.
9. It may be mentioned here that 8 Veterinary Assistants received
training in Rinderpest inoculation at the Imperial Bacteriological Laboratory at
Bareilly.

attended with a good deal of success. Several of the fairs are essentially
dealers', e.g., Sonepur and Barapur, and I question whether the breeder will
ever get a look in at them or if he will be induced to go to them at all. They
are both old established and dealing is entirely the order of the day.
21. A European obtained the silver medal for the second time running at
Sonepur for a Taylor-bred bull.
IV.—SUBORDINATE ESTABLISHMENT.
22. Table VII shows the strength of the Subordinate Veterinary Staff
employed during the year. There were 21 stationary and 24 itinerant
Veterinary Assistants against 22 and 22 respectively of the previous year.
23. The decrease in the number of the stationary Veterinary Assistants is
due to the closure of the dispensary at Noakhali for want of a Veterinary
Assistant and the increase in that of the itinerant officers is due to the appoint-
ment of two new men at Khurda and Muzaffarpur.
24. On the whole, the Veterinary Assistants have been reported to have
done very well during the year, and I have noted two or three who are fit for
good appointments which will be offered to them as soon as opportunities occur.
V.—EXPENDITURE OF THE DEPARTMENT.
25. Table XIV (a) shows in detail the cost of the College and the
Department during the year.
VI.—GENERAL.
26. The work of the department continued to make steady progress during
the year. The question of the reorganization of the Veterinary establishment
in the Province is under the consideration of Government, and particular stress
has been laid on the fact that one Imperial officer is quite unable to cope with
his work singlehanded. In fact, this appears to have been recognized over four
years ago, since when the work of the department has materially increased.
Another point which has been urged as essential for the conduct of the depart-
ment is that the Superintendent should have the sole control of the distribution
and working of the subordinate establishment.
27. I am glad to report that the cellar for storage of sera and a bacterio-
logical laboratory were at last ready by the middle of January, and the
appliances for the working of the same should be shortly received.
28. Mr. Burke, Assistant Principal and Superintendent, during the year
conducted his duties with zeal and ability, and I am able to commend the work
of the following officers :—
Mr. E. H. Brand, Mr. D. Dey, Mr. S. N. Mitter, Lecturers, and my
two Inspectors, Mr. S. C. Paul and Mr. N. L. Mitter.
29. I beg to be allowed to express my gratitude to the District Officers for
the kind assistance which they have invariably rendered me from the date of
my taking over charge of this office, and I am also obliged to the Inspector-
General of Civil Hospitals for the information which he kindly furnished me
with on certain points.

I.-VETERINARY INSTRUCTIONS.
THE STUDENTS.
1. Class A.—Seventy-three students joined this class at the beginning of
the session, including one student who failed last year, but who was permitted
to remain at the College to continue his studies. Withdrawals and removals
reduced the number to 52 (47 Hindus and 5 Muhammadans), of whom 46 were
allowed to go up for the examination. Thirty-six passed, making a percentage
of 78 against 95 of last year.
2. Class B.—There were 23 students in this class, including 3 who failed
last year. Of these, 20 were Hindus and 3 Muhummadans. They were all
allowed to go up for the examination, and did remarkably well, as all of
them except one passed, making a percentage of 95 against 69 last year.
3. Class C.—The number of students in this class during the year was 10,
including one of last year's failures, of which 9 were Hindus and 1 was a Native
Christian. They were all allowed to appear for the examination and 8 passed,
making a percentage of 80 against 88 of last year.
4. The examinations were held from 7th to 12th March 1905 by an
Examining Board composed of—
