16. General remarks on above, and on all other matters relating to the circle.—
Owing to an epidemic of small-pox, four temporary vaccinators were entertained from
the 7th till the 25th March by the Deputy Commissioner of Orai, on the recommen-
dation of Dr. Bond, Civil Surgeon of Orai. Their work has been included with that
of the Government vaccinator of Jaloun, in whose district all the four men worked.
During the past year I have visited all the zillahs in my circle, and found the
work generally satisfactory, especially in the districts of Cawnpore, Banda, and
Humeerpore. The best work I saw by individual vaccinators was that of the vaccinator
of Kumasin in Banda, who showed me 294 successful cases; and that of one of the two
vaccinators of Ghatumpore in the Cawnpore District, who showed me 210 successful
cases.
The Government vaccinator of Kora Jehanabad has vaccinated more children
than either of these men, and takes this year the first place in the circle; but my visit
to his pergunnah was made in the beginning of the season when he was only com-
mencing work, and I only saw 30 successful cases. I have received great assistance
from all the Civil Surgeons of the stations in the circle, especially from those of Alla-
habad, Jounpore, Orai, and Lullutpore.
The following native gentlemen have also given me great assistance :—Rajah
Mohesh Narain Singh of Raja Bazaar near Muchleeshuhur, of Jounpore ; Qaim Ally,
talookdar of Serai Kheta, of Jounpore; Mahomed Kefayet-ool-lah Khan, tuhseeldar
of Kerakut, of Jounpore ; Babajee Sahib, talookdar of Mundeahoon, of Jounpore;
Syud Ally Nusseer, Honorary Magistrate of Jounpore ; Bijore Singh, of Benore, near
Muchleeshuhur ; Seraj-ood-deen, tuhseeldar of Dehra Mungulpore, Cawnpore ; Baluk
Ram, tuhseeldar of Jajmow, Cawnpore ; tuhseeldar of Kora Jehanabad, Futtehpore.
I have, &c.,

Supdt. of Vaccination, Allahabad and Jhansie Division.
No. 208, dated Mussoorie, the 10th April, 1874.
FROM—J. RICHARDSON, ESQ,. M.B., Officiating Superintendent of Vaccination,
Agra and Meerut Circle,
To—F. PEARSON, ESQ., Superintendent-General of Vaccination, N.- W Provinces.
SIR,—I have the honour to submit herewith the returns of vaccination for the
Agra and Meerut Circle for the year 1873-74.
1. The strength of the establishment has been as follows:—
One superintendent, 12 native superintendents, 72 vaccinators, 12 apprentices,
one tube-filler, paid by Government; 40 vaccinators paid by municipalities, with
the exception of two, half of whose salaries is paid by Government, and half by muni-
cipalities ( Futtehpore Sikree and Soron ); 17 vaccinators paid from local funds;
and one native superintendent, four vaccinators paid by a native chief (Rajah of
Tehree.)
As compared with last season, this shows an increase of one tube-filler paid by
Government, of two vaccinators paid by municipalities, and one vaccinator paid partly
by Government and partly by a municipality, together with five vaccinators paid from
local funds. Municipal vaccinators were appointed for the first time to Hurdwar,
Haupper, Pilkooah, and Soron. The appointment of municipal vaccinator of Aleegunge
and Murehra was abolished. The additional five local vaccinators were paid from
funds raised by 15 towns of the Boolundshuhur District.
