decrease recorded was 600 under primary vaccination in the Baroda State, and
276 and 117 under re-vaccination in the Baroda and Cutch States respectively.
The abstract of the table will show that in Dispensary vaccination work, there is
a decrease under both kinds of vaccination. On the whole there was, in total
operations, an increase of 63,079 or 7.09 per cent. over the preceding year.

nation.
5. Out of 830,873 persons primarily vaccinated 788,351 cases or 94.88
per cent. were successful. The number of unsuccess-
ful cases was 13,091. In 31,544 cases, the result was
unknown, as the children were not again brought for
inspection. 2,113 persons were operated on a second time on account of the
failure of the first operation.
6. During the year 62,274 persons were re-vaccinated. In 56 instances
the re-vaccination was repeated, in 11,886 instances the
result could not be ascertained and in 11,896 the
operation failed. The number of successful cases was 38,548 or 61.90 per cent.

7. The following table shows the number of infants successfully vaccinated
in the Presidency exclusive of Native States. The
birth and death statistics are taken for the calendar
year, as usual, in calculating the number available for
vaccination, because infants are generally not vaccinated until three months
after birth:—

The above table shows that the successfully vaccinated fell short of the
registered births minus deaths amongst those under 1 year old. Out of 568,845
infants available for vaccination under one year, 435,608 or 76.58 per cent. have
been protected, and 133,237 or 23.42 per cent. remained unprotected.

8. The following table gives the rate of primary successful vaccination of
children under 1 year, and total successful primary
operations per mille of population, of each Collectorate,
and Native State, as preferred by Government, vide
paragraph 4 of their Resolution in the General Depart-
ment No. 4748, dated 4th December 1890. I have already expressed my opinion
in last year's report that it would be more accurate to compare infantile vaccina-
tions with the births than with the population of all ages :—
