* This column includes the number of cases pending before the Magistrate which is shown in the last column.
† Information for only nine months was available.
As pointed out in the report for 1896-97, the large divergences in the figures
entered in columns 5 and 6 cannot be satisfactorily accounted for except by an
assumption that a large influx of children born elsewhere has occurred. Defective
registration of births goes a great way towards impairing the accuracy of the
results recorded.
11. The operations performed by Government vaccinators were largely in
advance of the previous year, the increase having amounted to no less than 10,378.
The major portion of the excess occurs in the Ganjám Hill tracts where 7,222
operations were performed over and above those of 1896-97. This was in a great
measure due to the widespread epidemic of small-pox prevalent throughout the
year. In the Gódávari and Vizagapatam Hill tracts the work done was also in
excess of the previous year by 1,347 and 1,809 cases respectively.
12. The work performed in zamindaries rose by 2,655 cases. Only 43 cases
of re-vaccinations were done in these areas against 21 in the previous year.
Re-vaccinations may therefore be assumed as practically nil in these tracts.
