2. This systematic touring of veterinary assistants in addition to the gradually
enlarging number of veterinary hospitals in the Presidency will of course necessitate
far more touring by the Superintendent and his inspecting officers.
It has already been recorded that a Deputy Superintendent has been appointed
and the appointment of three additional inspectors sanctioned, but as pointed out by
the Superintendent in a recent report on the subject the appointment of these officers
while relieving the Superintendent of a certain amount of routine inspection work,
and enabling him to keep a closer hold on his assistants, will not relieve him of the
necessity of covering each year the whole of this Presidency the area of which is
enormous. It is this time which is taken up in travelling that prevents the
Superintendent from spending more than a few days in any one district, personally
attending outbreaks of rinderpest and other diseases and supervising the work of his
assistants in the field.
Under present conditions the Superintendent may meet with an outbreak of
disease in the part of the province in which he happens to be touring (this happened
once during the year under report) but otherwise he will not have an opportunity of
doing any field work, for he cannot put off one tour to attend an outbreak in another
part of the province without seriously interfering with his year's work.
By the appointment of a second Superintendent, the Presidency could be divided
into two parts and each Superintendent would then be able to spend at least a month
in half the districts under his charge.
3. The Superintendent has much pleasure in recording the great help and
sympathy in veterinary matters he invariably received from all district officials
throughout the Presidency.
There is no need to point out how, for the advancement of this department
in the Mufassal, it is imperative that it should have the entire sympathy of these
officials and the Superintendent trusts there will be no lessening in that respect in the
future.
In addition the Superintendent wishes to thank M.R.Ry. V. P. Subramania
Mudaliar, the newly appointed Deputy Superintendent, for the great help he has been
since his appointment.
He has invariably carried out the duties allotted to him most cheerfully and
well.

Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MADRAS VETERINARY COLLEGE
FOR THE YEAR 1911-1912.
I have the honour to submit the Annual Report of the Madras Veterinary
College for the year 1911-1912.
2. Administration—Throughout
the year I have continued to hold the
appointment of Principal. Mr. J. F. Valladares was on furlough during the whole
period ; consequently Mr. H C. Sampath Iyengar, Mr. S. Sankaramurthia Pillai and
Mr. V. Krishnamurthi have acted in the appointments of first, second and third
lecturers, respectively. Mr A. J. Wilson, who was acting House Surgeon last year
reverted for service with the Civil Veterinary Department on 19th August 1911 and
was placed in charge of the Coimbatore Veterinary Hospital. The duties of House
Surgeon were then assumed by Mr. M Sundranathan who continued to act in that
capacity for the remainder of the year.
3. Selection of candidates.—Owing to the scarcity of suitable candidates, I
succeeded in forming a class of 14 students only, made up of 6 passed and 8 unpassed
men ; of these one did not appear for examination and one left the college because he
was unsuitable.

The selection of students for the year 1912-1913 was made on January the 16th,
l912.
From some reason, probably the impression that the scale of pay of the
Veterinary Department was being revised a large number of Matriculates and satis-
factory School Final Certificate holders presented themselves for selection, with the
result that class A as it stands at the end of March 1912 is composed of 14 Matricu-
lates, 8 School Final, one unpassed and two last year's students.
4. Professional examination.—The usual dates for conducting the Professional
Examination are from the 7th of December onwards until finished. This year on
account of the Delhi Durbar it was found necessary to postpone the examinations
until after the Durbar. They were therefore held from the 8th to the 13th of
January 1912 both days inclusive and were conducted by the following officers ;—
President:
Lieut.-Col. J. FARMER, I.C.V.D., Superintendent,
Government Cattle
Farm, Hissar.
Members:
1. Mr. C. W. WILSON, I.C.V.D., Second Superintendent, Civil Veterinary
Department, United Provinces.
2. Mr. F. WARE, I.C.V.D., Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department,
Madras.
One student of class A was not allowed to present himself for examination and
two students of class C were absent from college on medical certificate, and did not
appear for examination. The following table shows the results.

6. Work of the hospital.—There has been an increase in the work of the hospital
during the year of nearly 300 cases and an increase of 129 in the number of opera-
tions. This practice has given abundant opportunity for the students to gain
practical experience. The figures showing the number of cases treated are as

During the year two outbreaks of anthrax occurred amongst the municipal cattle.
The preventive measures as taken on previous occasions successfully checked these
outbreaks.
During the year under report the College staff have undertaken the examination
of and the report on the slides sent up by Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Depart-
ment and veterinary assistants. This work has now grown to a considerable magni-
tude as during the year 399 slides were received and dealt with.
