control. The work of each vaccinator, as shown in the fortnightly returns sub-
mitted by the Civil Surgeons to my office, was closely watched by me, and there
were very few instances in which the deficiency was due to neglect on the part
of the vaccinating staff.
District Staff.
Percentage of success,
Form No. I
8. Of the total primary vaccinations performed by the District Staff,
99.39 per cent. were reported successful, showing an in-
crease of 0.14 as compared with the results obtained in
the previous year. The amount of success in re-vaccinations
was 79.62 per cent. as against 83.78 in 1905-06. These percentages are
calculated on the total number of cases in which the results were known.
The total primary operations include 2.40 per cent. of those cases in
which the results were not known, as against 2.27 in the year preceding. As
regards re-vaccinations, the percentage of unknown cases was 15.17 compared
with 14.64 in 1905-06.
Ratio of persons success-
fully vaccinated. State-
ment No. I.
9. During the year the number of successful vaccinations performed
by the District Staff was at the rate of 29.08 per 1,000
of population. This ratio is 2.9 per mille less than that
of the previous year, but it approaches most closely the
average annual rate of 29.16 for the preceding quinquennial period.

10. Special Staff.—The work of the special staff was very satisfactory
during the year. The vaccinators performed a total of
69,300 operations, of which 56,057 were primary vacci-
nations and 13,243 re-vaccinations. These figures show a considerable increase,
as compared with 44,120 primary operations and 3,005 re-vaccinations in the
previous year. The outturn in 1905-06 was very poor, as the vaccinators were
employed on the earthquake relief work in the Kangra district, instead of doing
vaccination in the Hill States during the summer months.
Special Staff.
Percentage of successful
cases.
11. The percentage of success in primary operations performed by the
special staff was 98.94 and in re-vaccinations 71.16. The

Cantonment Staff, Form

1905-06, and 7,155 the average for the previous five years.
The number of primary vaccinations amounted to 3,949 and of re-vaccinations
3,262. The ratio of successful primary cases was 98.61 per cent. and of
re-vaccinations 72.22 per cent., the percentages for the previous year having been
97.96 and 77.76 respectively. The largest number of operations were done in

Inspection work, State-
ment No. V.

Divisional Inspectors 153,798 and 16,047, the Superintendents 414,867 and
46,582. The percentage of success in the operations inspected by me was 99.46 in
primary cases and 92.86 in re-vaccinations, in those verified by the Deputy
Sanitary Commissioner 99.69 and 53.15, by Civil Surgeons 97.85 and 83.36,

Faridkote 3,119 and 40. It will be seen on comparing the above figures with
those given in last year's report that, with the exception of Nabha and Jind, all
