J. WILSON, ESQ., C.S.I.,
Secretary to the Government of India,
To
THE INSPECTOR GENERAL,
CIVIL VETERINARY DEPARTMENT.
Dept.
of Rev. and Agri.
Civil Veterinary Administration.
Simla, the 30th September 1904.
SIR,
I AM directed to return the copy of the Report of the Imperial
Bacteriologist for the year 1903-04, received with your letter No. 121—
158 R. & A., dated 15th July 1904, and to communicate the following remarks.
2. There has been a very large increase in the output of rinderpest serum
at the Muktesar Laboratory, but complaints have been received that indents
have not been fully and promptly complied with in all cases, showing that the
supply has not been equal to the demand. The Government of India realise
that this is mainly due to the growing appreciation of the value of the serum,
and trust that when the new machinery now in course of erection has been
fully installed, the Laboratory will be capable of meeting all demands.
3. Judging from the figures given in the Report, the anti-anthrax serum
is growing in popularity, and the results obtained from its use appear to be
beneficial.
4. Besides supervising the manufacturing and administrative work at the
Muktesar Laboratory, the Imperial Bacteriologist has devoted much attention
to the research side of his duties. In addition to continuing his experiments
in testing the liability of various breeds of cattle to rinderpest, he has been
engaged in investigating surra in camels, dourine in horses and pyroplasmosis.
Dr. Lingard has prepared two interesting papers giving the results arrived at
in his tests of relative rinderpest susceptibility and of his dourine investiga-
tions ; he has also brought together in one report a complete description of the
work hitherto done in the manufacture of rinderpest serum and the results
obtained from its use.
5. The Government of India agree with you that the Imperial Bacteriolo-
gist and his staff have done a good year's work, and consider that the useful-
ness of the Laboratory is rapidly increasing.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient Servant,
J. WILSON,
Secretary to the Government of India.

SECTION I.
Administration.
No. 502, dated Muktesar, the 23rd June 1905.
From—The Imperial Bacteriologist, Muktesar,
To—The Inspector General, Civil Veterinary Department, Simla.
I have the honour to submit my Annual Report on the working of the
Imperial Bacteriological Laboratory during the year ending 31st March 1905.
2. Captain J. D. E. Holmes, Assistant Bacteriologist, remained in charge
of the office of the Imperial Bacteriologist, with effect from the 10th April to
17th September 1904, in addition to his own duties, during my absence on six
months' leave. Mr. Max. Kriebel, Head Laboratory Assistant, held the same
office from the 18th September to 9th October, 1904, and on my return, I
assumed the charge on the 10th October 1904. Captain Holmes, after handing
over charge, was allowed to proceed to England on deputation for a course of
Bacteriological study at the University of Cambridge until July 1906.
Mr. R. E. Montgomery, M.R.C.V.S. (London), was appointed by the Secretary of
State for India to the Indian Civil Veterinary Department, with effect from the
8th October 1904, and assumed the office of the Assistant Bacteriologist at
Muktesar on the afternoon of the 15th October 1904.
3. During the year under report, the greater portion of the officers' time
was occupied in the preparation of Rinderpest and Anthrax sera together with
Mallein. A dry form of Rinderpest serum was prepared and tried in the field.
In addition, numerous cases of Dourine in equines and Surra in equines
and camels, were kept under observation and a series of experiments conducted.
In order to observe the course of Rinderpest in camels, different experiments
were initiated at Bareilly, and in addition, a number of experiments were con-
ducted having for their object the destruction of the Trypanosoma of Surra
"in vivo " by the administration of arsenic, trypan-rot and both in combina-
tion.
It was under contemplation to initiate serum test experiments on cattle
obtained from Assam, but arrangements for purchase and transport, etc., could
not be made in time to allow of the same being conducted during the winter
months at Bareilly.
In addition to my other work I published the following papers :—
(i) Resistance against Rinderpest and other infectious diseases—pub-
lished in Centralblatt für Bakteriologie, etc., Originale, Band
XXXVII, 1904, Heft 2.
(ii) A short account of the various trypanosomata found to date in India
in the blood of some of the lower animals and fish—Indian
Medical Gazette, Volume XXXIX, No. 12, December 1904.
(iii) A preliminary note on a pyroplasmosis found in man and some of
the lower animals— Indian Medical Gazette, Volume XXXIX,
No. 5, May 1904.

42. Two series of 16 illustrations of Dourine (bromide enlargements for
teaching purposes) have been supplied to the Madras and Poona Veterinary
Schools, respectively, during the past year.
43. During the year under report 124 specimens were received for
microscopical examination and report.
The great majority of these were specimens of pus obtained from animals
suffering from Lymphangitis Epizootica.
SECTION III.
Application of the result of research.
44. During the year 1904-05, 813,352 c. c. of anti-rinderpest serum have
been prepared, and 564,428 c. c.or 130,810 doses were issued as per detail
in Appendix I. Further, 10,300 c. c. of old and returned serum were handed
over to Dr. Maynard for the purposes of experiments connected with the
preparation of serum in powder form.
The serum prepared is equivalent to 151,855 doses, as against 122,061
doses during the past official year. The demand for rinderpest serum was
greater by 16,012 than that of the last year, and by 43,019 doses than that
of the year before last.
45. In addition to the above liquid from, 3,533 doses of serum in powder
were prepared. For the test purposes in the field, consignments of the same were
forwarded to the Superintendents, Civil Veterinary Department, Bengal and
Burma, also to Lieutenant Jelbart, Army Veterinary Department, Silliguri,
Sikkim Field Force. The returns received from Bengal did not reveal any con-
clusive results. Lieutenant Jelbart had no opportunity of testing the immuniz-
ing properties of this serum, as there had not been any rinderpest existing
amongst the transport animals. The experiments conducted by the
Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Burma, show that of 138 animals
injected with the serum in powder, 45 or 32.60 per cent. were attacked after
injection and 7 or 5.11 per cent. died. For the sake of comparison, the same
officer injected 42 animals with liquid serum (No. XVII). Of these animals,
19 were attacked after injection and 2 or 4.76 per cent died ; but in this
instance it was subsequently proved that serum XVII (prepared -at this
Laboratory in April 1903) had lost considerably in power during the interval
between its issue and use, viz., from a dose of 6 c. c. per 600 lbs. body weight
(Plains) to 10 c. c.
46. The following results have been collated from the returns received in
this office during the year under report concerning the serum injections carried
out by the serum alone method, in the various provinces.

REMARKS.
Death-rate 0.06 per cent.
In 82 villages of the 9 districts of the Punjab, of 17,248 head of cattle injected
with "serum alone," 11 or 0.06 per cent. succumbed to the disease after
injections. The mortality after serum injections of 13,006 animals in Bengal,
viz., 1.38 per cent. when compared with the returns from the Punjab where
17,248 animals were injected with a mortality of 0.06 per cent., prove
instructive as showing the difference in the death-rate when the returns
include a number of hill cattle as in those of Bengal.

REMARKS.
Death-rate 0.003 per cent.
From the above table it would appear that out of 11,041 head of cattle,
from 129 villages of 12 districts of the United Provinces, only 4 animals or
0.003 per cent. succumbed to rinderpest after injection. It may be noted that
out of 142 hill cattle injected with serum in the Almora district none succumbed,
which reflects great credit on the efficacy of the serum utilized.
