(b) By Assistant Superintendents

which 578,551 were primary and 27,273 re-vaccinations as against 580,917
in 1921-22 and 553,145, in 1921-22, which shows a satisfactory increase in
1922-23. The average for the three years was 579,962 as compared with
619,743 for the preceding triennium. The percentage of inspections to
the total number vaccinated in 1922-23 was 46.14 (primary vaccina.
tion) and 27.45 (re-vaccination) as compared with 48.95 and 32.20 in
1921-22 and 46.36 and 27.37 in 1920-21. The proportion of cases found
successful to the total number inspected was 95.46 per cent. in the case
of primary and 47.31 in the case of re-vaccinations as compared with 96.02
and 51.83 in 1921-22 and 95.81 and 53.33 in 1920-21.
During 1922-23 the largest number of inspections (32,098) was per-
formed in Gorakhpur, where there are two Assistant Superintendents of
Vaccination. Then came in order of precedence, Budaun with 19,580,
Jaunpur with 19,120, Basti with 19,074, and Aligarh with 17,115.
The districts in which the smallest number of inspections was per-
formed were Dehra Dun 3,027, Naini Tal 5,122, Etawah 5,737, Shahjahan-
pur 5,833, and Fyzabad 6,064. Of these, Fyzabad showed a slight im-
provement over last year. The District Superintendents of Vaccination
concerned will be asked to warn the Assistant Superintendents of Vaccina-
tion to devote more attention to this part of their duty.

followed by Pilibhit with 73.81, Partabgarh with 73.52, Fatehpur with

Provincial
Bovine
Lymph Dépôt, Patwa
Dangar (Naini Tal dis-
trict).
19. During the triennial period under review the supervising charge
of the dépôt was hold by me except the periods
from the 29th April to the 18th November, 1920
and from the 16th May to the 30th November,
1922, during which I was on leave and the charge
was held by Dr. D. D. Pandya and Major W. A. Mearns, I.M.S., respec-
tively.
During the triennium a general increase in the pay of the dépôt staff
was sanctioned by Government.
In 1922-23 the contract for the supply of calves was given to Kallan
butcher of Shahjahanpur at Rs. 12-8 per calf and Rs. 4 were paid by
him for each animal returned against Rs. 13 and Rs. 4 respectively, in
1921-22 and Rs. 15 and Rs. 4. respectively in 1920-21. The contractor was
very irregular in supplying calves with the result that delay and incon-
venience was caused in the manufacture of lymph. In future the con-
tract will not be given to this man.
