* Three vaccinators were temporarily employed for three months in the year.
The number of operations per vaccinator is below that reported from some
of the other provinces; at the same time a satisfactory increase is shown; and,
as the facilities for supplying animal lymph become increased, each vaccinator
will be able to turn out still more work.

There was a slight decrease in the average cost of each case. Glycerine paste
tends more and more to take the place of lymph used direct from calf to arm, so
that, probably, the cost per case will continue to diminish.

average cost of each case in Local Fund districts:—
