service a Vaccinator who had been displaced by the Gondul people employing a man of their
own. From Jaitpoor we passed on to Dhorajee, a wealthy and populous town, where the
people promise to keep up a Vaccinator, but have not yet completed arrangements for doing
so. From Dhorajee we went to Buntlee and Joonaghur, under which Durbar three Vaccinators
are employed, but they do not appear to get on very well with the people, so I have not dis-
couraged an attempt on the part of the Karbarees to employ men from their own country,
which, however, they have not yet accomplished. From Joonaghur Buntlee we went to Mang¬
role, a considerable town on the sea coast with a small Talooka attached, the Chief of which
however has hardly sufficient means to keep up a Vaccinator exclusively for his own villages.
From Mangrole we marched by Nuveebunder to Porebunder, where the Rana wished a man
of his own, whom I had trained, to be exchanged for a Guzerat man who had been for some
years with him. This was arranged before leaving Porebunder, and at the close of the year we
had marched by Rawul and Rumbalia and reached Noanuggur two days before the date to
which this Report extends. In this tour and to the present time I have accompanied Colonel
Lang's Camp, and to his influence and exertions must be attributed the degree of support
which the Chiefs at present seem disposed to extend to vaccination. As his plans will proba-
bly ere long take him in another direction; I then intend by myself to make a tour of inspec-
tion among the Vaccinators already established, and hope by the close of the travelling season
to have visited most of those in the Northern and Eastern Districts, and so make altogether a
tolerably extensive circuit throughout my charge.
VACCINATION UNDER CIVIL SURGEONS AND OTHERS.
23. In the Appendix there are two tables, numbered 2, following each
other,—one for the year 1856, the other for 1857. In both tables the
names of thirty-five stations are mentioned, although at twenty only are
Native Vaccinators under Civil Surgeons specially entertained. The
term "fixed establishment" in contradistinction to the "moveable estab-
lishments" of Superintendents of Vaccination is applicable to those
stations at which a Native Vaccinator is employed.
24. In 1856 the total vaccinated was thirty-five thousand seven hundred
and thirty-one (35,731), which, compared with 1855, shows a diminution
of two thousand five hundred and seventy-four (2,574). In 1857 the
total number was twenty-eight thousand two hundred and thirty-eight
(28,238), a decrease of seven thousand four hundred and ninety-three
(7,493) from 1856. The stations most remarkable for diminished num-
bers are, in 1856,—Sattara, Bhooj, Rajcote, Dhoolia, Ahmedabad and
Kurrachee; in 1857,—Bhooj, Hydrabad, Rajcote and Aden. The several
causes giving rise to the decrease will be found under the Reports of each
Station. In 1856 the number of persons vaccinated by each Vaccinator
is computed at one thousand four hundred and fourteen (1,414), which,
with reference to the charge to Government for every hundred (100)
persons vaccinated, averages about Rupees nine, annas fourteen, and
pies ten (9-14-10). In 1857 each Vaccinator is supposed to have
