Changes
amongst
the
supervising officers.
2. The changes amongst the supervising officers,
which took place from 1st April 1892 to 31st March
1893, were as follows :—
(a) In the Western Registration District Surgeon-Major J. W. Clarkson,
having been appointed Acting Sanitary Commissioner for the Govern-
ment of Bombay during the absence of Surgeon-Lieutenant-Colonel
C. W. MacRury, delivered over charge of the office of the Deputy
Sanitary Commissioner to Surgeon-Lieutenant-Colonel P. Murphy,
Civil Surgeon, Násik, on 3rd June 1892; who, in his turn, handed
it over to Surgeon-Captain A. V. Anderson on 24th October 1892 ; the
latter officer acted as Deputy Sanitary Commissioner of this District
till the end of the year.
(b) In the Gujarát Registration District Surgeon-Captain T. E. Dyson,
having been appointed Deputy Sanitary Commissioner of this District,
took charge on 20th June 1892 from Dr. M. B. Colah, who retired from
the service. Surgeon-Captain Dyson obtained privilege leave for
three months and his duties were carried on by Surgeon-Major K. S.
Nariman, Civil Surgeon, Surat, from 21st July 1892 to 22nd October
1892.
Points to be remembered
in reading over this report.
3. In reading this report it is to be borne in mind that the vaccination
returns for 1891-92 of the Káthiáwár and Pálanpur
Circles were not included in last year's report, but they
are shown in the present report and contrasted with
the returns for 1892-93. Another point to be re-
membered is, that in the report for 1891-92, the last census population, exclusive
of Europeans and Eurasians, was made use of, but as vaccination work is per-
formed amongst all alike, as far as possible, the Europeans and Eurasians
are included in the population shown in this report.
