rarity of septation, and presents the characters which led F. Cohn to regard
his Streptothrix as a schizomycete organism. It is true that Sauvageau and
Radais* have apparently unequivocally demonstrated that he was wrong in
doing so, and that his Streptothrix is in reality a filamentous mycelium which
may at present be included within the provisional group Oospora, but this does
not in any way affect the question, seeing that, according to them, the species
of Oospora associated with actinomycosis is characterised by an entire absence
of septation. The observations of these authors alone are amply sufficient
to demonstrate the purely provisional character of the genus Oospora, seeing
that they make it include organisms with both septate and aseptate mycelium,
and therefore presumably belonging both to the group of higher fungi and to
the phycomycetes. A glance at the first figure in Plate II, which is taken from
an organism occurring in a neutral salt-solution as the result of air-con-
tamination, will show the characters presented by an Oosporic mycelium of the
type of Cohn's Streptothrix, and on comparing them with figures 2-4 of the
same plate, illustrating the fungal elements normal to the black variety of my-
cetoma, it will be at once evident that the latter are of an entirely different type.
In place of being aseptate the filaments are here built up of series of very
short, relatively broad cells, and in place of presenting any resemblance to
those of any filamentous schizomycete, they resemble those which enter into
the constitution of the sclerotia of any of the higher fungi which produce such
bodies ( Plate II, Fig. 3).
Whilst then, in the absence of any demonstration of definitive fructifica
tion, the fungal elements characteristic of the two common varieties of myce-
toma may, as a matter of convenience, be referred to the provisional genus
Oospora, this does not imply that they are specifically identical or even related
to one other in any way. On the contrary, in so far as mycelial characters
go, the evidence goes to show that they are absolutely unlike. The mycological
evidence, such as it is, goes to show that these two varieties of the disease are
associated with organisms of totally distinct nature, and this being so, it can
hardly be reasonably maintained that they constitute the specific primary cause
of it. The general clinical features of the disease in the two varieties, and the
structural details apart from the character of the concretions, are so precisely
alike that it is hard to follow observers like Boyce and Surveyor,† who whilst
affirming the absolute distinctness of the fungal elements present in them, yet
affirm that the latter are both pathogenic and both the specific cause of
the disease with which they are associated. In other words, they affirm
that two forms of disease which, in so far as all their general features

lar times of year facultatively saprophytic fungi occur in the soil and its con-
tents in very great abundance. It is possible that the changes produced in the
degenerate products of the primary lesion by the access of fungal elements may
be of an injurious character in so far as the ultimate outcome of the disease is
concerned ; but, as the evidence at present stands, there is no satisfactory ground
for maintaining that the latter is primarily of fungal origin.

ANNUAL REPORT
ON
VACCINATION IN MYSORE,
1879-80.
(WITH THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER'S REVIEW THEREON.)
Proceedings of the Chief Commissioner of Mysore in the General Department,
(General),—dated 16th July 1880.
READ—
The Annual Report on Vaccination in Mysore for the year 1879—80.
No. 2709—GENL. 724, DATED BANGALORE, 16TH JULY 1880.
REVIEW BY THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER.—The work of the Vaccination Depart-
ment was carried on by 84 Taluk Vaccinators who are paid by results with maxima
of Rs. 15, 12 or 10 according to the class; by 22 medical subordinates attached to
Hospitals and Dispensaries, and by 4 paid Vaccinators in the Bangalore Municipality.
2. The Taluk Vaccinators operated on 88,785 cases, being 1,188 less than in
1878—79, at a cost of Rs. 10,065—9—5, which gives an average cost of 2 annas
3¼ pie (within a fraction of a pie of the average of the previous year) for each of the
70,634 successful cases. The medical subordinates in Dispensaries vaccinated 935
cases, of which 731 were successful, and the Municipal Vaccinators vaccinated 2,430
cases, of which 2,099 were successful.
3. It appears therefore that the percentage of successful cases in Bangalore
amounted to 94.6 ; while of the operations conducted by Taluk Vaccinators it was only
79.5. As cases in which the result is unknown swell the numbers of unsuccessful cases,
the difference may be due to the greater ease with which in a Municipality persons
operated on can be found and the results ascertained and noted, but it should be
observed at the same time that of 10,658 children inspected by medical subordinates
4,510 or 42.3 bore marks of vaccination, if then their inspection was confined to chil-
dren whose vaccination was reported the result does not equal the reported propor-
tion of successful operations. If, however, the children were taken hap-hazard, it is
satisfactory to find so large a proportion of the population protected from small-pox.
4. More attention has been given both by Medical and Revenue Officers to
inspection than before, and the number of dispensary operations has risen. These are
good signs and much benefit may arise from the institution of a healthy competition
between the paid vaccinators and medical subordinates.

ANNUAL REPORT ON VACCINATION IN MYSORE
FOR 1879—80.
I have the honor to submit for the information of the Chief Commissioner a concise
report on Vaccination in Mysore for (the official year) 1879-80.
2. The department has undergone no change in its constitution during the year
under report.
3. The establishment consists of 84 Vaccinators to each of whom is allotted a
Taluk, or, in cases where the original Taluks have been abolished, 2 or more sub-divi¬
sions of different Taluks.
4. The following abstract exhibits the work done by various agencies, the results
and the cost:—

5. It will be observed that the total number of cases operated on by Vaccinators
is 88,785 or 1,188 less than in the preceding year. The falling off which was chiefly
in the Nagar Division is shewn below :—

The decrease in the Nagar Division is ascribed in some instances to the sickness
of Vaccinators and in others to defective zeal or neglect, but it may be remarked that
at certain seasons in Malnad Taluks the climate is unfavorable to vaccination.
The slight decrease in the Ashtagram Division is accounted for chiefly by there
being for short periods no vaccination performed in the Taluks of Heggaddevankote and
Malvalli and the jahagir of Yalandur for the Mysore District and in Manjarabad, Atti¬
kuppa and Narsipur Taluks for Hassan District.
6. The average number of cases vaccinated by each Vaccinator is 1,082.7 per an-
num. This is a fair amount of work considering that in some Taluks for various rea-
sons vaccination was suspended for a time.
7. Of 88,785 operations, the number returned as successful is 70,634 or 79.5
per cent of the number vaccinated. The percentage of successful operations in 1878-79
was 81.31. The cases in which the result is unknown are not taken into account, and
therefore the proportion of successful vaccinations may perhaps be higher than is shewn
in the returns. In the case of wandering tribes and of travellers generally, the result
of operations must sometimes remain unknown, and as respects permanent residents there
is also occasionally difficulty in ascertaining results from the unwillingness of certain
classes to permit of lymph being taken from their children's arms for the benefit of others.
3
These results are reliable and the fact that 42 per cent of the children examined
were protected is in itself an indication that vaccination in the Province is attended with
a fair amount of success.
16. District Officers while on circuit in the Province have frequent opportunities
of acquainting themselves with the state of vaccination.
The Deputy Commissioners of Bangalore, Kolar and Túmkúr give the general
result of their inspection as follows:—
Mr. Ricketts (Deputy Commissioner) states that " the vaccination seems to have
been fairly, if not well, performed in all parts of the District save about Yelahanka
hobli and in the Nelamangala Taluk."
Mr. B. Krishnaiengar, C. S. I., (Deputy Commissioner) speaking of the Kolar
District states that "the Vaccinators' work during the year 1879-80 is satisfactory."
Mr. K. Seshadri Iyer (Deputy Commissioner, Túmkúr) reports that as far as his
" information and observation extend the work of vaccination has been done satisfactorily
in the District during the past year. Assistant Commissioner Mr. Venkat Vardaiengar
is of the same opinion."
17. The lymph in general use in the Province is favorably reported on by the
medical officers of Districts.
A supply of lymph is also received annually from the National Vaccine Institu-
tion, London, but in this as in other years it has failed in nearly every instance.
18. The following table shews by Districts the deaths registered from small-pox
during the past and preceding years :—

SIR,
With reference to Government Resolution No. 1738,
dated 23rd April last, and anterior and subsequent corre-
spondence, I have the honour to submit the accompanying

Deputy Inspector General of Hospitals, as well as the Re-
port on the Vaccination Department, submitted by the

I have the honour to be,
Sir,
