R E P O R T .
The water from the river bed. -is highly polluted containing fœcal bacilli in .1 of a co. The bacilli present how
show that the water is a settled one.
2. The sample taken from the pumping station immediately after filtration shows great improvement. F
bacilli are present in 10 cc.
3. The two samples taken from the pipe line very much resemble the other samples, but the one fro
Teppakulam shows some objectionable bacilli but these suggest that some dust has gained access to the bottle during
process of taking the sample.
Chemically the water is fair in quality but is rather hard. The samples are better than those of the pro
quarters.

REPORT.
(i) The sample of water from the well on bank of the Kalyani river shows that the water is somewhat polluted;
one fcecal bacilli in 3 cc. and upwards.
(ii) The sample of so called filtered water from the collecting chamber is of very bad quality and-much inferior to
11 water it contains fœcal bacilli in • 01 cc.
(iii) The two samples taken from the distributary system show an improvement on that from the Collecting
." but these are not by any means satisfactory.
Recommendation.—Inspection and further investigation are necessary and will be undertaken by the undersigned.

REPORT.
(i) The eastern well is polluted to a considerable extent ; it contains fœcal bacilli in 1 c c.
(ii) The western well is much better as regard the amount of the pollution, for it contains fœcal baccilli in 10 cc.,
t unfortunately the kind of pollution is very objectionable and suggest recent and dangerous contamination.
(iii) The water in the collecting chamber is a mixture ; hence the result is not of much value.
(iv) The samples from the distributary system are much the same in quality as the above.

ADONI.
Samples taken 30th July 1908.
Remarks. —Water comes from a large reservoir or tank which at present is very low indeed.
The catchment area is indifferently conserved. The tank water passes through
,filter beds and is supplied to the town by gravitation.
Very little rain has fallen up to date.

Sample I.—Sample from the Tank—Unfiltered water.
(a) Total colonies on agar at 37º—140.

REPORT.
The water at Adóni has twice been examined, because the very unsatisfactory nature of the filtered water looked
er suspicious.
(i) The reservoir water (unfiltered) in both cases shows considerable pollution, fœcal bacilli being present in .1 cc.
(ii) The filtered water has in reality been examined three times, viz., sample II, sheet I and samples II and III,
II. These results are very even and show without a doubt that the filters actually add bacilli to the water instead of
l ing them. A filtered water that contains a fœcal bacilli in 1/100 of a cc. is very far from satisfactory.
(iii) The samples from the pipe line, samples (iii) and (iv), show very similar analyses to those of the filtered
r reservoir ; but it is obvious that there is a great multiplication of harmless bacilli in the pipes.
(iv) The spring water is just the same in quality to the tank water at this time of year, but is superior to the
r after it has passed through the filter.
Recommendations— (i) The filter sand is too coarse ; it is quite useless for filteration purposes and 12R at least of
sand should be substituted.
(ii) Much more care should be taken to preserve the catchment area. Grazing of cattle and trespassing should
verely dealt with.
