villages visited, 2,05,255 cases treated for contagious and parasitic
diseases, 4,114 for non-contagious diseases and 1,629 animals
castrated in the preceding year. The decrease in the number
of cases treated for contagious and parasitic diseases and number
of villages visited was due to less reporting of outbreaks of Liver-
Fluke Disease in 1940-11, as Carbon Tetrachloride for the treatment
of this disease was not available for part of the year.
(vi) Investigation.
41. 311 specimens submitted by the subordinate staff from
cases of Surra, Piroplasmosis, Anthrax, Haemorrhagic Septicaemia
and Liver-Fluke and other parasitic diseases were examined
and 153 of these were positive of 2 brains of dogs sent to Haffkine
Institute, Bombay, both were declared positive for Rabies.
42. The Veterinary Investigation Officer, Sind and Ajmer-
Merwara, continued his work of his investigation of the several
diseases viz., Wah, Contagious, Pleuro Pneumonia, Contagious
Mastitis, Rinderpest, Contagious Abortion, Plant
Poisoning,
Encephalomyelitis. The usual detailed annual report of this
officers' work and its summary have been submitted to Govern-
ment of Sind and to the Imperial Council of Agricultural Research,
New Delhi.

employed by the District Local Board, Thar Parkar. The number
of in and out-patients treated at these institutions during the
year was 41,645 as against 46,768 in the previous year. Medicines
and advice were given to owners of 12,483 animals which were
not brought to the dispensaries, as compared with 16,612 in 1939-40.
The number of castrations performed was 4,631 as against 3,870

a sliver medal awarded in prizes in the preceding year. Rs. 500
in cash and a sliver medal were contributed by Government and
Rs. 500 by the Karachi Race and Riding Club, Limited.
47. Cattle Shows, Table VII.—Cattle Shows were organised
by the Live-Stock Officer. Information relative to these shows,
supplied by the Director of Agriculture, Sind, is exhibited in Table
VII.
IV —Subordinate Establishment.
48. Table X.—There were 1 Veterinary Inspector and 24
Veterinary Assistant Surgeons in sevice on 1st April 1940. During
the year two Veterinary Assistant Surgeons were appointed, the
Veterinary Inspector was promoted to provincial service and one
Veterinary Assistant Surgeon was appointed, as Veterinary Ins-
pector and one Veterinary Assistant Surgeon died leaving 24
Veterinary Assistant Surgeons and Veterinary Inspector at the
end of the year. Besides these, one Veterinary
Assistant
Surgeon was employed by District Local Board, Thar Parkar.
49. Of the 24 Subordinate Service Veterinary Assistant
Surgeons working on 31st March 1941, 23 were in charge of
dispensaries and 1 on reserve duty.
50. Three posts of Reserve Veterinary Assistant Surgeons
and 2 of Itinerating Veterinary Assistant Surgeons were vacant
on 31st March 1941.
51. The post of Veterinary Inspector was held by Mr. Abdul
Majid N. Siddiqi from 1st April 1940 to 6th March 1941 and by
Mr. M. W. Mirza from 7th to 31st March 1941. The Veterinary
Inspector was on tour for 91 days and travelled 3,747 miles by
L (IV) 1984—2
10
rail and 247 miles by road as against 134 days spent on tour, 5,471
miles travelled by rail and 706 miles by road in 1939-40. He
inspected all Veterinary Dispensaries, visited Government Agri-
cultural and Cattle Breeding farms and Gaushalas and inspected
Government Stud Bulls when required.

Of these, two were temporarily placed in charge of Itinerating
Veterinary Dispensaries and six worked under Veterinary Assistant
Surgeons. As in the previous years they attended outbreaks
of Liver-Fluke, Parasitic Gastritis, Foot and Mouth, Mange, etc.
treated simple cases and carried out castration by the Burdizzo
method. It is considered that an increase in the number of this
cadre will be most useful in making Veterinary Aid more promptly
available in rural areas.
53. The clerical staff performed their duties efficiently during
the year under report.
V —Expenditure.
54. Table IX.—The total expenditure of the department
for the year under report was Rs. 1,53,041 as against 1,68,568 in
the preceding year.
VI —General Remarks.
55. The cadre of Field Compounders could not be expanded
uring the year under report for want of necessary funds.
d
56. There were no imports of live-stock from overseas at
the port of Karachi during the year under report.
