MEDICAL AND SANITARY REPORT OF THE NATIVE ARMY OF MADRAS.
APPENDIX II.
Translation of a Note from the Officiating Resident at Hyderabad, to His Highness the Nizam's
Minister, No. 1,720, dated 26th July 1872.
Referring to the reports of the prevalence of cholera in the interior of His Highness the Nizam's
country which you kindly furnish me with from time to time, I beg to state, for your consideration,
that very much of the value of these reports is entirely lost (1) by their reaching so late, and (2)
by the locality of the places to which they refer being in many cases not correctly ascertainable,
owing to the want of a proper map showing the districts and taluqas in His Highness' dominions.
2. The first evil referred to will, I have no doubt, be at once removed by your issuing impera-
tive orders to the local authorities to observe strict punctuality in the transmission of these
highly important reports. As regards the second, I would request the favor of your kindly instruct-
ing the several reporting officers to particularize in each instance the situation in relation to
other well-known places and roads, and the approximate distance from Secunderabad of the village
or pargannah in which the disease is said to be prevalent.
3. This extra labor would be avoided if the officers, to whom these cholera reports are
forwarded by this office, could be placed in possession of a comprehensive map of His Highness
the Nizam's territory.
4. I am aware that good maps of His Highness' country are perhaps not yet available. Now
that the Public Works Department has been so much improved, it would be well if the preparation.
of such maps could be kept steadily in view so that maps worthy of the dignity and importance of
His Highness' dominions might gradually be prepared.
5. Copy is forwarded, for information, of the letter from the Deputy Inspector-General of
Hospitals, Hyderabad Subsidiary Force, in which this reference has originated, and in the interests
of the European garrison of Secunderabad, as well as of the masses of the people generally, I trust
you will have the kindness to cause effectual steps to be taken to improve the character and increase
the value of the information of this nature which is in future transmitted to me.
No. 1,459A of 1872-73.
Copy to Dr. Barclay for information and with the Officiating Resident's acknowledgments for
his having brought the subject to notice.

Docket No. 1,522 of 9th August 1872, from the First Assistant Resident, Hyderabad, to the

In continuation of this office endorsement No. 1,459A, dated 5th instant, on the subject of
cholera received through His Highness the Nizam's Minister, states that Sir Salar Jung has issued
the requisite orders to the local authorities to furnish these reports in greater detail in future.
