It will be seen that both in rural areas and in municipalities, the average
number of operations during the period under review was greater than during
the previous triennial period, being 84,297 and 25,324, against 81,444 and
21,367 of 1893—96.
The decrease in Calcutta is partly due to the suspension of vaccination
work for three months of the recess season of the last year. The chief
cause of the decrease is that there was no occasion to carry on operations on
a large scale during the recess, as was necessary during the previous triennial
period on account of the epidemic prevalence of small-pox in the town.
