Examination of samples of skins for export.—During the year, the number of
samples submitted by the exporting firms of Madras for bacteriological report increased
from nineteen to eighty. The examination of these samples occupies considerable
time and entails special care in carrying out the bacteriological tests. A charge of
Rs. 15 has therefore been collected in each case and has been credited to Government.
In addition to the above, two hides were sent in by the Sub-Magistrate of Marigala-
giri for examination and report in connexion with a criminal case.
10. Receipts.—The receipts of the college from hospital charges, etc., amounted
to Rs. 11,819-2-9.
11. Expenditure.—The total expenditure of the college and hospital was
Rs. 54,883-15-2 and is accounted for as follows:—

12. Attendance and discipline of students.—Good.
13. Hostel.—The accommodation of the hostel is only one-third of what is
required. During the year Government have tried to obtain a piece of land, the
property of the military authorities and which adjoins the hospital, for the purpose
of building hostel accommodations, etc., but have not succeeded—vide G.O. Mis.
No. 982, Revenue, dated 9th March 1918. The difficulty of obtaining more land
may perhaps be partly overcome by considering the possibility of converting the
present hostel building into one of four or five stories.
14. General.—At the request of the Quartermaster-General, Simla, four more
men from Northern India were trained here as farriers for service with the Army
Remount Depot, Mesopotamia.
The Bacteriological Laboratory and the College extensions.—These buildings are now
in hand and will probably be ready by April 1919.
The Principal was in charge of the office of the Superintendent, Civil Veteri-
nary Department, from 13th February 1917 to L2th November 1917 in addition to
his own duties. He attended the Pasteur Institute to ascertain the methods recom-
mended by the Director for dealing with persons bitten by rabid dogs as ordered in
G.O. No. 772, Revenue, dated 14th March 1917. He also acted as a member of the
committee on the subject of Veterinary Education discussed at the meeting of the
Board of Agriculture held at Poona from 10th to 15th December 1917. The
Principal also attended at the Agricultural College, Coimbatore, to conduct the
Diploma examination in Veterinary Science held on the 6th and 7th December 1917.
He also served as a Member of the Board of Examiners at the Bombay Veterinary
College and as President of the Board of Examiners at the Bengal Veterinary College
in November 1917 and March 1918 respectively and he attended the Ongole Cattle
Show held in February 1918.
