RAYMOND RESEARCH LABORATORY.
The Laboratory did good and useful work during the year.
2. One hundred and six brains of suspected rabid dogs, received either
from the College hospital or elsewhere were examined and. 74 certified as
rabies. Persons bitten by these dogs were recommended to undergo anti-
rabic treatment.
3. Two hundred and fifty-eight pathological specimens were received
for examination, chiefly from Bengal and Bihar and Orissa. Forty-one
Hæmorrhagic Septicaemia, 26 Anthrax, 11 Surra, 4 Black Quarter, 4 Fowl
Septicaemia and 3 Piroplasmosis were diagnosed.
4. The Imperial Serologist, Calcutta, and the Director, Pasteur Institute,
Shillong, were supplied, on request, with morbid materials for their work.
Guinea-pigs and rabbits were also supplied to Muktesar Laboratory and
Pasteur Institute, Shillong, for experimental purposes.
5. At the instance of Messrs. Landale & Clark, several samples of bone-
meal were collected and tested for Anthrax and other pathogenic organisms
before being exported from the Calcutta port.
6. To meet Calcutta and district demands, considerable amounts of
serum, vaccine, etc., were stocked in the serum-pit of the Laboratory.
During the year, 187,553 doses of anti-rinderpest serum, 24,304 of anti-
hæmorrhagic septicaemia serum, 8,165 of anti-anthrax serum, 148 of mallein
and 34 of tuberculin were supplied to Calcutta and various districts of the
province.
7. The Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Bihar and Orissa,
was supplied with a set of Anatomical wall maps, drawn by the Artist-Photo-
grapher of this College for demonstration purposes in Bihar.
The College magic-lantern with slides of various infective diseases of
animals and specimens of well-bred cattle was sent out to districts for exhibi-
tion at the fairs.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
CIVIL VETERINARY DEPARTMENT, BENGAL,
FOR THE YEAR
1917-18.
PREFACE—General administration.
THE permanent Superintendent Mr. (now Captain) Kerr continued to be
on military duty throughout the year under report, and I remained in charge
of this Department in addition to my duties as Principal of the Bengal
Veterinary College. The work of touring was, therefore, performed by the
Deputy Superintendent, Babu Sarat Chandra Paul, who spent 94 days on tour
and inspected the important hospitals and dispensaries in this Province.
He also attended a severe outbreak of anthrax in the Sundarbans and two
out reaks of glanders, one in Rangpur town and another at Kalimpong in
Darjeeling, and travelled 7,387 miles by rail, 222 miles by road and
450 miles by steamer.
2. During the year two Veterinary Assistants, viz., Babu Ananga
Mohan Ghose and Babu Rabindra Mohan Roy, volunteered their services to
the Military Department, while one Assistant, viz., Babu Khagendra Nath
Ghose, returned to this Department on the completion of his term of agree-
ment for one year. The total number of assistants who were doing military
work during the year was eight.
Part I.—Veterinary Instruction.
3. Leaflets in Bengali dealing with the prevention and treatment of
contagious diseases were as usual freely distributed to the villagers, and
benefits accruing from isolation, disinfection and. burial of carcasses, etc.,
were fully explained to them by the subordinates of this Department.
Part II.—Treatment of Diseases.
4. There was an unusual increase in the mortality of animals from
contagious diseases during the year, the total number of deaths reported being
26,486 as against 8,415 in the preceding year.
Table II shows in detail the figures for each district. Although the
number of deaths amongst equines fell from 120 in the preceding year to 73,
the number of deaths amongst bovines rose from 8,232 to 26,208, the districts
most seriously affected being Noakhali, Bakarganj, Rangpur and 24-Parganas.
In these districts most of the reports of outbreak of cattle diseases in
the interior were received late, and as unfortunately no precautionary
measures were taken by the villagers, the contagion spread, with the result
that a very large number of animals died before inoculation work could be
undertaken. The mortality would have been still greater but for the
excellent results obtained from preventive inoculation. The loss sustained
by these four districts represents nearly 70 per cent. of the total mortality
for the whole Province.
4
20. The building of the Veterinary Hospital and Dispensary at Jalpai-
guri was nearing completion at the close of the year.
21. At Brahmanberia in Tippera and at Feni in Noakhali lands have
been acquired for the construction of dispensaries with quarters for the
Veterinary Assistants.
22. In the Noakhali town acquisition of lands has been made for the
erection of temporary buildings for the Veterinary Dispensaries, as the site
of the dispensary is in danger of being washed away by the river which is
threatening the whole town.
23. The construction of dispensaries with quarters for the Veterinary
Assistants of Rajshahi and Pabna is being delayed for want of funds, though
lands for the purpose were acquired by the District Boards concerned so far
back as 1916.
24. Acquisition of lands is reported to have been made in the Khulna
district for veterinary stores and assistants' quarters at Satkhira and
Bagerhat. At Satkhira the buildings have been, commenced, while at Bagerhat
the existing erection (thatched) have been temporarily utilised.
25. The total number of in and out-patients treated during the year
was 34,889 as against 37,785 in the previous year. The decrease in the
number of cases was due to the occurrence of less number of foot-and-mouth
cases, and in some instances to the assistants having to be granted leave
although no substitutes were available due to our depleted staff.
Part III.—Breeding Operations.
26. Table VIII shows the number of stud bulls maintained in this
Province during the year 1917-18. These are either the property of Govern-
ment or of local bodies.
27. As stated in the previous years, continued efforts are being made
by the officers of this Department to arouse interest in cattle-breeding
amongst the people, and many requests have been made for good young bulls.
During the year one good Montogomery bull was presented to the
Veterinary Dispensary at Rangpur by Babu Dukhaja Mohan Chaudhuri, a
local zamindar.
Fairs and Shows.
28. Tables XIII and XIV show particulars of horse and cattle fairs in
this Province. All these were attended either by the local Veterinary Assis-
tants or by the Divisional Veterinary Inspectors, who delivered lectures on the
prevention of cattle diseases and preservation of cattle, and helped in the
judging of animals for the distribution of prizes.
Lantern slides were also displayed at the fairs held at Chinsurah, Suri.
Feni and Faridpur.
A
Bull Breeding and Rearing Farms and Depot.
29. There are only two farms in this Province, one at Kalimpong and
another at Rangpur. The former is managed by the St. Andrew's Colonial
Homes and the latter by the Agricultural Department. Table IX shows the
working thereof.
Horse and Pony Stallion.
30. Tables X, XI and XII are blank as there was no horse or pony
stallion in this Province during the year.
Part IV.—Subordinate Staff.
31. The strength of the subordinate veterinary staff of Bengal during
the year 1917-18 was :—
Deputy Superintendent
Veterinary Inspectors
Veterinary Assistants

32. Table VII shows in detail the distribution of assistants in the
various districts of this Province.
33. During the year one Veterinary Assistant died, one was discharged
and eight were on military duty. Four new posts for which sanction had
been received previously were also opened during the year. Eleven new
graduates were received from the College, and they were absorbed in filling
up old and new vacancies. Sodepur Pinjrapole entertained one more Veteri-
nary Assistant during the year.
34. Deputy Superintendent.—Babu Sarat Chandra Paul has given me
much assistance in inspection work.
35. Veterinary
Inspectors—Have
worked
satisfactorily.
Babu
Nripendra Nath Majumdar, Veterinary Inspector in charge of the Presidency
Division, was on combined leave for about eight months, during which period
Staff Veterinary Assistant Babu Rabindra Nath Bose acted in his place.
36. Staff Veterinary Assistants.—Of the four staff Veterinary Assis-
tants sanctioned for this Department only two were employed at the close
of the year for want of men. Of these two one was on deputation for the
most part of the year. The remaining staff Veterinary Assistant, Babu
Pashupati Nath Mukerjee, performed his duties satisfactorily.
37. Veterinary Assistants.—With few exceptions the work of the
Veterinary Assistants was generally good. One Veterinary Assistant was
suspended for misconduct.
Part V.—Expenditure of the Department.
38. Table XIVA shows the expenditure of the Department during the
year including that of the Bengal Veterinary College. This statement has
been prepared according to the figures furnished by the Accountant-General,
Bengal.
General Remarks.
39. Cattle Poisoning.—This crime was rife as usual. Veterinary Assis-
tants performed post-mortem examinations on several cases sent up by the
Police, and viscera were sent to the Chemical Examiner to the Government
of Bengal. Offenders were punished in cases where arsenic was detected.
40. Cruelty to Animals.--Endeavours were made by the Veterinary
Assistants to prevent cruelty, and several cases were sent up for prosecution
under the Act.
41. Office Establishment.—Owing to the death during the year of the
second clerk and the transfer of the third clerk to Dacca in the office
of the Director of Agriculture, Bengal, the work in the office was somewhat
difficult for a time. The head clerk had extra work and responsibility in
consequence, and I am pleased to be able to say that his efforts in keeping the
work up to date were very satisfactory.
