† There is no system of registration in force in Burma. Military Police register 88 deaths from Surra,
6 from Anthrax, 13 from Epizootic Lymphangitis, 6 from Glanders, 2 from Tetanus and x from
Strangles.
‡ These diseases are not differentiated by villagers or headmen, but are considered as different
manifestations of Anthrax, and so are included under this heading.

RESOLUTION ON THE REPORT ON THE CIVIL VETERINARY DEPARTMENT, BURMA,
2
FOR THE YEAR ENDED THE 81ST MARCH 1919.
3. An increase in the staff of 6 Inspectors and 29 Veterinary Assistants was
sanctioned during the course of the year and a further increase of 3 Deputy
Superintendents, 1 Inspector and 23 Assistants has been sanctioned since the
close of the year. The Lieutenant-Governor fully appreciates the good work done
by the staff of Veterinary Assistants, but he is impressed with the necessity for a
larger measure of supervision over this peripatetic work than can at present be
given by the small supervisory staff. The reorganisation of the Department on
the basis of the Public Services Commission's Report, on which the Secretary of
State's orders are awaited, will, it is hoped, remedy this defect. His Honour also
considers that an attempt should be made to open Veterinary Dispensaries at
centres where they are likely to be resorted to by the local population. Detailed
proposals for such dispensaries are at present being worked out. In the Punjab
there were in 1917-18 no fewer than 127 Veterinary dispensaries at which over
3,50,000 animals were treated, and over 16,000 castrations were performed. In
Burma there is precisely one dispensary, at which, in the year of report, 1,999
animals were treated, and 5 castrations were performed. The attitude of the
Burman towards Western Veterinary Science may be different from that of the
Punjabi, but it is hardly likely to be so different as to justify this contrast,
4. In the concluding paragraph of his Report Colonel- Evans pays his usual
tribute to the interest, kindly help and support he has received from District
officers. In his power of evoking that interest and support, in his complete
freedom from departmentalism, in his ready appreciation of the practical difficulties
of District officers and his willingness to meet them, lies the secret of the success
with which Colonel Evans has administered the Veterinary Department throughout
an unusually difficult year, though deprived by the exigencies of the war of the
services of Messrs Cameron and Rennie.
By order of the Lieutenant-Governor of Burma.

Revenue Secretary to the Government of Burma,
