(Native) for the use of the Provision Department is also authorized. One
tent (Native) is also allowed for the cover and preparation of medicines, and
one for the hospital clothing and other supplies for medical purposes furnished
by the Commissariat Department.
2. The above tents will be allowed not only to entire corps, but to
Wings of Corps when detached, and smaller parties when deemed necessary.
For a Company one tent (Native) will suffice for all three purposes, and will
be indented for by the Commissariat Department.
3. Hospital Tents, EUROPEAN TROOPS.—Hospital tents for European
regiments on the march are allowed at the rate of one tent (European) to 150
of strength of the Regiment or detachment.
4. NATIVE TROOPS.—One tent (Native) is allowed as a hospital for
a detachment of Light Cavalry, Sappers, or Artillery Karkhana .Drivers, equal
in strength to a Troop or Company, and not exceeding three. For a
detachment exceeding 3 Troops or Companies, and not above a Wing of
Cavalry, two tents. For a Detachment in excess of a Wing, and equal to a
regiment of Cavalry, three tents.
5. One tent (Native) is allowed as a hospital for a Detachment of
Native Infantry, equal in strength to a Company, and not exceeding three.
For a Detachment exceeding three Companies, and not above a Wing, two
tents. For a Detachment in excess of a Wing, and equal to 7 Companies,
three, and for a regiment 4 tents.
6., The tent (European) is used as an hospital tent for all parties or
details of Europeans of more than 50, and less than 150 strong; and the tent
(Native) for all Native Troops, with the exception of Native Horse Artillery
which is supplied with a tent (European) to each Troop, for this purpose.
European tents for Native Regimental Hospitals are allowed in Cantonments
and standing camps, in cases of epidemic disease during
the hot season, when native tents would be unsuitable
for the purpose.

For a Detachment above 500 men ... ... ... ... Two
9. HOSPITAL TENTS FOR A BATTERY OF ROYAL ARTILLERY.—When a Battery
of Royal Artillery is detached on service, 2 tents (European) will be supplied
as hospital accommodation, so that in the event of half the Battery being
detached, it may be provided with one of the tents.
10. For a detachment of Artillery of more than 13 and less than 50 men,
1 tent is allowed for the accommodation of the sick, and the guard.
11. TENTS FOR HOSPITAL SERJEANT.—A tent (Staff Serjeant's) is allowed
to each Hospital Serjeant of a European Corps.

marching from station to station, when employed on public duty, proceeding
to join, or on medical certificate.
13. Sick Carriage for Europeans.—The proportion of sick carriage
for European Troops on ordinary occasions is regulated by the strength of the
corps or party.
14. To calculate the proportion of sick carriage for Europeans, divide
the strength of the corps or party by 10, which gives the average number of
sick for whom carriage is to be provided—divide the number of cases by 9
for the number of sick carts, multiply this number by 4 (the number of men
each cart can carry) and this sum, deducted from the total sick, leaves the
number for whom Doolies will be required, thus:—
10/900
9/90 sick men.
10 sick carts.
4 in each
40 men carried in carts.
50 in doolies.
90 Total number sick.
162
[SECT. XXIII.
HOSPITAL EQUIPMENTS.
15. At Secunderabad and at all stations to the south of that one-half
the number of doolies, according to the former calculation will be withheld,
and bullock ambulances, of a comfortable and easy going pattern (devised by
Captain Hawkes) will be supplied for the carriage of the remainder of the
sick.
16.
TATTOOS OR RIDING BULLOCKS.—When sick carts are not available,
tattoos or riding bullocks are allowed at the rate of seven to one sick cart,
including the carriage of arms and accoutrements.
17. DOOLIES,—A Dooly is allowed on all ordinary occasions to every
10 Europeans, or to every 70 Native soldiers when detached. But this
allowance may be increased or diminished should it be satisfactorily shown
by the officer commanding the Division, on a medical officer's certificate, that
such is absolutely necessary.
18.
MEDICINE CHEST.—A European regiment on the march is allowed
2 medicine chests, and a Native regiment one. 9 bearers are allowed
for the carriage of the former, 5 for the carriage of the latter. For smaller
detachments carriage of medicine is provided for at the following rates. The
coolies being indented for as bearers:—

19. A cooly for the carriage of medicines is allowed for any party to which
a medical officer or subordinate is attached.
20.
DHOOLY BEARERS.—Six dooly bearers are allowed to each dooly for
Europeans, and five bearers to each dooly for natives.
If Muncheels are issued, five bearers are allowed for Europeans, and
four for natives, for service in India. If on Foreign Field Service, all are
allowed five, the superfluity being designed to anticipate the occurrence of
casualties.
21.
MUNCHEELS ON FOREIGN SERVICE.—Muncheels are usually the only
kind of sick carriage embarked with troops proceeding on Foreign Service,
and they are used instead of doolies. They are allowed at the rate of 1 to
every 20 Europeans—and 1 to every 40 natives.
22.
SICK CARRIAGE TO INVALIDS.—When invalids of H. M.'s Service
require sick carriage or camp equipage beyond the regulated proportions, it
shall be granted, under the provisions of paras. 10 and 11 of section, headed,

forward, with the indents, a certificate stating the number of cases for whom
doolies, and those for whom sick carts, are absolutely required.

23. Whenever invalids or time-expired men of H. M.'s Regiments
are required to proceed from Poonamallee, for the purpose of embarkation,
the officer commanding at that station, shall, on receipt of the warning
orders, transmit to the Quarter Master General of the Army a present state
of the party, showing the number requiring carriage for their kits, and a
statement of the sick carriage required, supported by a medical officer's
certificate.
24. Sick carriage in the regulated proportion is also allowed to the
convalescent part of the detachment.
25.
SICK CARRIAGE FOR NATIVE DETAILS.—When native sick details
require to be supplied with sick carriage for their transport from the General
Hospital to the depôt at Palaveram, the Physician in charge of the General
Hospital shall transmit, through the Brigade Major, Fort St. George, to the
Quarter Master General of the Army, a statement, showing the nature and
amount of carriage that may be necessary.
26. Parties of Europeans of not less than 13 and not exceeding 50 in
strength, are allowed a tent (European) for the accommodation of the
guard and sick.
27.

is allowed four bullocks, a sick cart Hawke's pattern two bullocks, and a
wagon eight—spare cattle being allowed in the proportion of one to every
six; or if only one sick cart is proceeding, a spare bullock is allowed to it.
28. TARPAULINS.—Tarpaulins for the flooring of the tents used by
European troops, in wet or damp weather, and of the lightest description
consistent with utility, will be issued by the Ordnance Department, on indent
passed by the Quarter Master General's Department. When tarpaulins are
issued, straw is not to be given, except on extraordinary occasions. Any
other material which may be water-proof, and which may be found to answer
the purpose equally well, can be issued in lieu of tarpaulins. They are to
be carried on the cattle or carts provided for the troop tents; if that carriage
be found insufficient, a corresponding increase according to weight will be
supplied.

1. Medical officers and subordinates in charge of civil hospitals will
furnish the Inspector General, Indian Medical Department, through their
respective Deputy Inspectors General, with a budget estimate of their
hospitals or departments, not later than the 1st of September of each year.
2. In the Presidency, town the estimate will include the salary of the
medical officer, and that of the medical subordinates and hospital establish-
ment, as well as the cost of the material charges of their respective hospitals.
3. In the Provinces, the entries will be limited to the pay of the medical
officer and subordinate, and such portion of the hospital establishment and
contingent charges as are claimable from Government, under existing regu-
lations.
4. The estimate will be drawn up in parallel columns, contrasting the
present requisitions with the sanctioned grant of the past official year (not
with the estimate of that year), with full marginal explanations for every item
of excess ; without which, such excess will be excluded from the general
departmental budget.
5. Civil estimates will be prepared in manuscript, and submitted in
original only.
6. Sums estimated for by medical officers are not necessarily available
for their institutions. The Inspector General, the Accountant General, the
Local and Supreme Governments, respectively exercise the power of check
and revision, guided by the actual expenditure of the past twelve months, or
the exigencies of the public exchequer. The amount finally sanctioned by

by medical officers, either as regards the total sum, or as regards the sums
specifically allotted for each minor head of their estimate.
7.The Inspector General alone has the power to authorize the transfer
of the savings of one minor head for the benefit of another ; or to divert the
unexpended grant of one institution for the necessities of another.
II.—Military.
8.MATERIEL.—Medical officers in charge of Military Hospitals will
forward to the Inspector General, through their respective Deputy Inspectors
General, an annual estimate of their hospital requirements drawn up in form

September of each year. Requirements will be calculated on the basis of
8 per cent. of sick to strength. Medical storekeepers will also furnish an
estimate in form, Article 3, in the Appendix (No. 40.)
9.The total of each minor head will be inserted in the second column,
headed "total of each minor head." The practice of adding paper to the
printed list is prohibited, it having been rendered as complete as the regula-
tions permit. Should any omission exist, the item, if required, may be
interlined in its proper place in the list, so as not to disturb the total of the
minor head.
10.Articles received from "Europe" and from Commissariat "stock"
are not to be priced, no money provision being required for their supply.
