The names are arranged in order of merit.
As compared with the results obtained last year there has been a general
decrease—only three districts showing an increase in their proportion per cent.
protected. These are Tinnevelly, Nellore and Malabar.
(1) Nellore.
(2) Tanjore
(3) South Canara.
(4) Ganjám
(5) Gódávari.
(6) Malabar.
Of the remainder, decrease is most marked in Madura (20.0), North Arcot
(12.2), South Arcot (11.9), Cuddapah (11.0), Coimbatore (10.4), Salem (9.3), and
Anantapur (9.2), again showing the influence of the plague inoculation scare. The
order of merit remains practically the same as in the previous years, and there is,
as previously stated, considerable room for
improvement in the districts noted in the
margin. These percentages are of course
affected also by the accuracy or otherwise of the birth registration.
