9. The first year's students did fairly well in Anatomy, and a prize has been
awarded to Beni Parshad, but they came short of my expectation in Materia
Medica, and the prize has been withheld; they are intelligent and generally well
educated youths, and I believe would have done better had they been more fami-
liar with drugs and their practical uses. Samples of nearly all the medicines in
use are exhibited at the lectures, and are on view in the museum, but this does
not quite compensate for a want of practical handling in a dispensary.
10. The attendance of the students has been very regular, and their con-
-
duct good. Only 9 were punished during the Session. One dismissed for theft,
a s e c o n d f i n e d f o r e n t i c i n g a w a y . a n o t h e r m a n ' s w i f e , a n d b r i n g i n g h e r w i t h i n t h e
school precincts, a third for repeated absences from lecture, and six for inatten-
tion. Of these last, one was dismissed during the session, I believe at his own
wish, he having become quite incorrigible. A second deserted, thereby antici-
pating very probable dismissal, as he was so idle, and answered so badly at the
weekly vira voce examinations on all subjects, that he could hardly have expected

more diligent, and passed at the . end of the year.
Two have been punished by stoppage of promotion, loss of position, and in
one case by loss of a prize for want of strict honesty daring the examination
itself just closed. I hope the punishment will be sufficient, as both are promis--
ing young men.

The teaching staff deserve to be very favourabl y mentioned.
Babu Jadub Kissen Ghose gave 128 lectures and held 51 examinations in
Medicine, besides delivering 12 lectures on Chemistry, 15 on Materia Medica with
8 examinations, when acting for the Materia Medica teacher sent as Civil
Surgeon to Seoni. I can only repeat my warm approval of his efforts to im
-part the fullest and most recent information on the subjects he teaches to the.
students under him, His Clinical instruction given in the wards is very good.
Babu Jadu Nath Ghose has also been most careful and minute in his
instructions, and the manner in which the students have answered the questions
given to them, is good proof of his success as a teacher. He gave 116 lectures on
Anatomy with 37 examinations ; 194 lectures on Surgery with 36 examinations,
and dissected for demonstration 9 dead bodies.
The Materia Medica Class was unfortunate from the change of teachers.
The proper professor, Babu Kali Kissen Ghose, had been detached to officiate as
Civil Surgeon at Wardha, his place being taken by Assistant Surgeon , Amulya
Chandra Champati. This gentlemen was transferred to Jubbulpore on October
23rd 1879 , after having given 75 lectures and held 19 examinations. Babu Kali
Kissen Ghose resumed charge of his duties, and remained till 1st December
1879, when he was sent to Seoni as Civil Surgeon, making over his classes to
Jadub Kissen Ghose, till his return on 15th January 1880. Babu Jadub Kissen
Ghose gave 27 lectures with 8 examinations as noted above. Kali Kissen Ghose
in all gave 20 lectures, and held 15 examinations in Materia Medica, and 23,
lectures with 9 examinations in Chemistry. So that between the three teachers
there were 107 lectures and 42 examinations in Materia Medica, and 38 lectures
and 9 examinations in Chemistry. I have always found Babu Kali Kissen Ghose
most painstaking, and he performs his duties with ability and zeal.
