Cured.
This was a young entire horse, which had not been pulled down by the presence of the
hæmatozoon to any great extent, although he had lost flesh.
In this case may be observed the gradual fall in the number of coarsely granular cells,
a minimum was reached on the 86th day of treatment, after which there was a gradual rise
until health ratio returned.
This animal was returned in March 1895 to the Bombay Mounted Police, and at
present is said to be in good health and condition.

Guinea Pig inoculated from Horse No. CVII.
Remarks.—This animal succumbed somewhat suddenly to a ruptured liver—probably
through accident—on the 15th day of the disease.
Red Corpuscles.—These diminished in number gradually from the latent period, and at the
time of death the loss compared with health was equal to 10.8 %.
The white corpuscles decreased during the period of incubation 30 %, but the mean
loss of the two paroxysms was 70 %, compared with the health standard, but when the
hæmatozoa disappeared from the blood, and the temperature fell during the intermission,
although it only lasted two days, 46 % of the white cells returned. But it is worthy of notice,
that during the same period the red corpuscles were unable to recuperate.
Coarsely Granular Cells.—The mean of the latent period exceeds that of health nearly four
times, but on the appearance of the hæmatozoon their numbers were rapidly reduced, and these
cells finally disappeared altogether in the first intermission.

SUMMARY OF CORPUSCULAR CHANGES IN THE BLOOD.
The changes observed with regard to the number of red, white and coarsely granular oxyphile
cells in the blood —
(i)
When Surra has been acquired naturally, or by experimental inoculation.
(ii) After unsuccessful inoculation with the bandicoot hæmatozoon
(iii) During the period of treatment of Surra with Arsenic.
RED CORPUSCLES.
(i) When Surra acquired naturally or by inoculation.—An increase in the number of red
corpuscles occurred in the latent period, equal to 9.7 % in the horse, and 5 and 1.87,
respectively, in the mules. During the paroxysms there was a decrease, most marked in the case
of the mules. A further decrease occurred in the intermissions, except in the case of Mule II.

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA.
ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
IMPERIAL BACTERIOLOGIST
FOR THE OFFICIAL YEAR
1896-97.
THE Laboratory is not yet complete, work with regard to the installation
of gas is proceeding, but the small house to contain the sterilizing apparatus
and the cinerator have not yet been commenced.
As has already been reported to Government, great difficulty is experienced
in obtaining fodder at Muktesar, owing to the small amount of cultivation in
the hills. The harvest only supplying the wants of the inhabitants for a
portion of the year. The neighbourhood of the Laboratory is sparsely popu-
lated and the services of agriculturists are difficult to obtain, owing to the fact
that each family has a certain amount of land belonging to them, and this they
cultivate during the months of June to September, inclusive, to supply millet,
etc., for their own requirements. At the commencement of October, the
inhabitants leave the hills with their cattle and proceed to their holdings in
the Bhabar and Terai, where they remain until the following year. In conse-
quence of the anxiety caused last year owing to the absence of fodder, during
which period (four months) our animals subsisted principally on oak leaves,
I represented this to Government, and after making careful enquiries, as to the
best means of procuring supplies of grass, etc., for our ponies and cattle,
submitted a method which would admit of work being carried on at the
Laboratory. This scheme, however, did not meet with approval. Consequently,
in September, I employed a number of coolies to cut as much grass as possible
and stacked it for use during the winter. Coolies are obtained here with great
difficulty, and the amount of grass cut and stacked was small, costly and quite
insufficient to tide our requirements over the hot season, the period when it is
impossible to obtain further supplies. A further representation will be made
on this subject, as it is quite impossible for work to be carried on, if the where-
withal to feed animals be not forthcoming.
In continuation of my investigations commenced in 1891, with a view to
determine whether the Surra parasite is ever present in the body fluids of flies,
ticks, etc., other than when caught upon the bodies of diseased animals, I
determined during 1896 to visit the localities known to be Surra centres within
reasonable distance of the Laboratory, viz., Kathgodam-Naini Tal Dâk line,
Saharanpur-Mussoorie Dâk line, and Karnal—
(i) During the hot season of the year, when no cases of Surra exist.
(ii) During the rains, just before the disease usually manifests itself
in equines.
Information having been received from Veterinary Lieutenant Loughlin
on 15th May 1896, to the effect that cases of Surra had been reported amongst
B
4
a period of observation and the phases of Surra. The object in view as in
equines was to elucidate the changes which take place in the blood of
animals previous to and after contracting Surra, together with an inquiry
into the ingested and egested nitrogen and water, for the purpose of explain-
ing the rapid waste of tissue in this disease.
(B) Investigations—
(a) during the hot season,
(b) during the rains,
(i) with regard to the presence or absence of the Trypanosoma Evansi
in the blood of equines, the body fluids of fish, flies and
ixodes, together with the results of the microscopical examina-
tion of water obtained from Surra localities;
(ii) with regard to the presence of the embryos of the Filaria papillosa
in equines and bovines.
Classification of certain species of flies caught upon the bodies of animals,
the subjects of Surra.
