Order—No. 2946, Revenue, dated 10th December 1920.
Recorded.
Miscellaneous
2. During the year under review
veterinary institutions were opened at
Bezwada, Cuddapah, Russellkonda, Jaggayyapeta, Polavaram, Kurnool and Narasarao-
pet. The hospital at Anantapur though sanctioned has not yet been opened as no
suitable rented building in which it can be located is available. Proposals are under
consideration for constructing permanent buildings for the hospital. The Govern-
ment have sanctioned the opening of new veterinary institutions in 1920-21 at
Parvatipur, Hospet, Virudupatti, Tiruvalur, Gudivada and Masulipatam.
3. The number of castrations performed by the touring veterinary assistants
and by the assistants in charge of veterinary institutions is satisfactory. The
Government observe that the veterinary assistant in charge of the Berhampur
hospital performed over 1,000 operations.
4. The number of inoculations performed by touring veterinary assistants during
the year under report was 90,614 against 131,071 in the previous year. The
Government regret that difficulty in regard to supply of serum tended to restrict the
number of inoculations to such a large extent.
5. The possibility of making better arrangements than at present exist in
Madras in regard to the maintenance of cattle mortality registers and reports of
outbreaks of contagious diseases among horses and cattle should be further examined
in communication with the Corporation.
6. Sixty-nine animals of the Agricultural farm at Coimbatore were inoculated
against rinderpest by the 'serum simultaneous' method with no fatalities. The
Government appreciate the success that has attended the experiment.

7. The total charges of the department as reported by the Accountant-General
(exclusive of charges on account of breeding operations and establishment for the
inspection of cattle exported to Ceylon) amounted to Rs. 3,10,149-13-1 as shown
below:—

ENCLOSURE.
Annual Administration Report of the Superintendent, Civil Veterinary
Department, Madras Presidency, for the year 1920-21.
I.—ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF.
(a) Superintendent.
Mr. F. Ware was in charge of the Office of Superintendent up to 21st August
1920 when he proceeded on combined leave for one year, handing over charge to
Mr. D. A. D. Aitchison who held charge till the end of the year in addition to his
own duties as Principal, Madras Veterinary College.
2. Mr. Ware was on tour for 51 days, travelled 2,816 miles by rail and 258
miles by road. He visited seven districts and inspected the offices of two Deputy
Superintendents, three Inspectors, seven veterinary institutions, ten Touring Assist
ants and the Government elephants belonging to the Forest Department in
Mudumalai range. He also visited the Agricultural Farm at Bantanahal with the
Second Superintendent to find out the cause of the frequent outbreak of Pleuro
pneumonia among sheep. He toured in the Palni hills to investigate the possibility
of starting a second Imperial Bacteriological Laboratory there and selected a build
ing at Kodaikānal for a veterinary dispensary.
8. Mr. Aitchison was able to be on tour only for nine days without detriment
to his duties as Principal. He visited Ootacamund to peg out sites for the various
structures of the proposed veterinary hospital and Coonoor to select a site for a
permanent hospital. He also inspected the veterinary dispensary at Coonoor, the
Touring Veterinary Assistant at. Ootacamund and the Veterinary Inspector, Calicut
Range.
4. Mr. G. McElligott, an Imperial Officer, who joined duty at Madras as Second
Superintendent of this department on 31st May 1920, was on tour for 90 days
during the year and covered 5,643 miles by rail and 592 miles by road. He visited
Bellary and Kurnool districts with Mr. Ware and after some training toured
independently in eight other districts and inspected the office of one Deputy Super
intendent, three Inspectors, fifteen veterinary institutions, sixteen Touring Assistants

Class C—the final year—with a pass of 79.4 per cent succeeded in beating Class
B by a bare margin only, the latter being represented by a pass of 78.5 per cent.
Class A was somewhat less successful with 65.6 per cent which, however, is a good
average. On these results the teaching staff have every reason to consider that their
efforts during the year were to some degree rewarded. The report of the Board of
Examiners would not seem to deny them some credit either, for they considered that
the results were satisfactory and that the successful candidates showed a good know
ledge of their work.
The usual supplementary examinations for candidates who had failed in one
subject only were held by the Principal. Three students presented themselves and
all passed.
4. Employment of graduates.—Twenty-seven students graduated from the College
in March 1921. Twenty-six are awaiting orders of appointment in the Civil Veteri
nary Department, Madras, and one student who was deputed by the Coorg Adminis
tration entered service in Coorg.

year was 2,945 as detailed below :—

Rabies.--Four patients were put through the Anti-rabic treatment in the
hospital. In 24 suspicious cases where it was necessary to have a microscopical
diagnosis in the interest of the people bitten, the brain of the animal was sent to the
Pasteur Institute, Coonoor. Twenty-two of these eases proved positive.
