cope with cattle disease in the interior
of the district.
Action taken by the
Civil Veterinary Department.

Some cases of rinderpest in certain
parts of the Sassaram subdivision
were reported, and the Veterinary
Assistant at Dumraon was engaged
to chock the disease. The Subdivl-
sional Officer allowed him to go back
to Dumraon before the disease had
been stamped out, but subsequent
arrangmentswere made to send him
to the affected parts again.
On receipt of a letter from the Director
reporting an outbreak of rinderpest
at the Raipur police-station in the
Narayan subdivision, the Magis-
trate of Dacca was requested to ap-
point a Veterinary Assistant, and he
informed that the disease had dis-
appeared. Five copies each of the
rules for guidance in epidomics of
Rinderpest and Hallen's Manual of
Cattle Diseases in India were sent
to him.
One Veterinary Assistant was sent to
check the disease. Ho visited four
villages, and only a small amount of
cattle-disease was found there.
The disease was reported from police-
stations Sundip and Hatia and
outpost Senbag. Ten copies of
Hallen's Manual (Bengali) were
sent for Senbag, where the per-
centage of deaths was greater.
The Magistrate was requested to
appoint a Veterinary Assistant, and
one was appointed ; but he fell sick
and returned. Another WAS sent
and he succeeded in checking the
disease.
The Magistrate was requested to ap-
point a Veterinary Assistant, and
one was appointed ; but before he
reached the affected place, the
disease had died out.
The Magistrate was asked to appoint a
Veterinary Assistant, and in reply
he asked for instructions. Twenty-
two copies of
Hallen'a Manual
(Bengali) were sent.
A Veterinary Assistant was going to bo
sent, when the Magistrate tele-
graphed again not to send, as the
disease had already died out.
