It is difficult to arrive at any definite conclusions from these diagrams. I
have, however, in accordance with the desire expressed in paragraph 10 of the
Government Resolution on the last annual Vaccination Report, prepared the
following statement showing the number of deaths from small-pox and ratio
per mille of population in the districts of Champaran, Balasore, Saran, Muzaffar¬
pur and Darbhanga prior to and after the introduction of vaccination :—

creased in all these districts.
