VACCINATION REPORT.

Bellary.—Absence of vaccinators for a long time without substitutes, plague,
and prejudice of certain classes such as Lingayets.
The very large decrease in Vizagapatam district seems to have occurred to
some extent in the Vizagapatam Circle (3,481), but principally in the Vizianagram
Circle (9,990). This seems to bear out the reason given of want of help in zamin
villages and if this be so, it is to be hoped that steps will be taken to improve
matters during the current year.
