Operations in the 1st circle.
16. A total of 340,177 persons were vaccinated and 5,419 re-vaccinated against
296,963 and 8,492, respectively, in 1892-93. The
number of primary successful operations rose from
255,726 to 308,171, and the average number of per-
sons vaccinated by each vaccinator from 1,554 to 1,726. There was likewise an increase
in the percentage of success, 95.97 per cent. being recorded against 93.58; and 30.00
per 1,000 of the population were successfully, vaccinated, as compared with 24.99 in the
previous season. The operations in the 1st Circle have always been in advance of those of
the other Circles; and much of the excellence of the work is undoubtedly due to the
painstaking care and zeal, which Dr. Jameson has shown in directly supervising operations
and controlling the Vaccination Staff. The Civil Surgeon of the Saháranpur district,
Dr. Tuohy, acknowledges that the results of the operations in his district have been
successful beyond his conception, and that the method and supervision of vaccination
under previous arrangements secured results which, in his opinion, were in every way
excellent.
The following table shows the increase, or decrease, in the number of successful
primary vaccinations. in the various districts of the 1st Circle.

Increase and decrease in successful vac-
cination in the various districts.
17. There was a slight decrease in the number of successful primary operations
in the Dehra Dún dìstrict, and in Tehri Garhwál.
In every other district there was a notable increase
in successful vaccinations, and the increase was
most marked in the Etah district, where operations were pushed forward and greatly
extended through the exertions of Mr. Galbraith the Magistrate and Collector. In
Aligarh also there was a large increase of 8,341 in the number of successful primary
operations, due to the zeal of Dr. Roberts and Mr. Harrison, the Collector, assisted
by an energetic Assistant Superintendent.

18. The operations in the various districts of
the 1st Circle are summarized as follows :—
Summary of Dehra Dún report.
19. In the Dehra municipality, 748 primary vaccinations were performed, against
703 in the previous year, and the number of opera-
tions exceeded the births in 1893 by 6. Register
I was fairly well kept and Register II imperfectly kept, as there is no legal obligation
to report arrival in the town to the police, and it is difficult to obtain the information
except through this channel. Certificates of vaccination were delivered. Thirteen
notices were issued under the Act and in each case the notice was complied with.
