the lectures regularly for at least three years, were selected to pass a final
examination before Doctor Scriven, the Professor of Midwifery, and Doctor
Brown, the Principal of the Medical School. Five of them appeared at
this examination and passed very successfully. The 6th was prevented
from appearing, as she had given birth to a child during the previous week.
These women will be of great service in attending their country-women
and also the poorer class of Eurasians and Europeans.
100. Honors to former Students of the School.—Assistant Surgeon Brij
Lal Ghose had the title of Rai Bahadur conferred on him by Government for
his exertions in teaching the above class and also in attending to sanitation
Lahore. Assistant Surgeon Gokal Chand was permitted to become a 2nd
Class Assistant Surgeon without examination, in recognition of his services in
attending the clerks at Simla.
Assistant Surgeon Cheytan Shah, Rai Bahadur, has been appointed Civil
Surgeon of Jhang, and Assistant Surgeon Radha Kishen Civil Surgeon of
b
Karnal.
Fifteen of the recently passed Assistant Surgeons from the Lahore
School volunteered to do military service with the Kabul Forces if they were
allowed to wear uniform, which Government permitted. No Assistant Sur
-
geon from any other School has thus volunteered to do military duty.
101. Library.—Several important books were added to the Librayr
during the year, among which the following deserve mention :
—
Bigelow's Litholapaxy, Kuhne's Photochemistry of the Retina, Stille's
Dispensatory, Barne's Manual of Midwifery, Klein's Atlas of Histology, Cob
-
bold on Parasitic Worms, Hutchinson's Lectures on Clinical Surgery, Ogston's
Lectures on Medical Jurisprudence. The catalogue mentioned in last year's
report has been printed during the past year, and a copy accompanies this
report. A large number of copies were circulated among the officers both
of the Army Medical Department and of the Indian Medical Service, and a few
of the latter have obtained books on loan from the library.
It is intended shortly to print an amended copy of this catalogue, including
all the books received since the publication of the last catalogue, and giving
the date of publication of all those that can be ascertained.

Mnseum.—Very few new morbid specimens have been obtained
last year, nor, in fact, is there much room for an increased number in the small
apartment employed as a museun. Among those which were received
there were a tumour removed by Doctor Ross, of Peshawar, and a case of
elephantiasis of the genital organs removed by Assistant Surgeon Mohandro
Nath Ohdedar. There was also a case of tubal fœtation, another specimen
of elephantiasis, and some tumours from. the Mayo Hospital. Several useful
instruments were obtained for the museum. Among these were the capillary
trochar, whose employment in ascites has been already referred to ; also two
Eustachian catheters, and Politzer's apparatus for inflating the Eustachian tube
and. Bigelow's extracting syringe for litholapaxy.
103. Dissecting Room.—A fair supply of subjects for the dissecting-room
.
was obtained during the past year, though less than in the previous one. The
,
number of bodies dissected was as follows :—
