Shows, inspected two tonga lines and visited Sargodha twice in connection with
the Bull-Farm project and Hissar once for selection of stud-bulls. He was also
appointed a member of the College Board of Examiners.
Mr. Woodley was on tour 117 days (78 in the Punjab), during
which he covered 6,078 miles by rail and 1,047 miles by road. He
attended outbreaks of disease and made inspections in 16 districts. He
judged at three Horse and Cattle Shows and inspected four tonga lines.
Mr. Gaiger was also attached to the Province for training in the expect-
ation that he would be appointed Superintendent, South Punjab, but was trans-
ferred to the Punjab Veterinary College to fill the place of Captain Baldrey.
During his training he was on tour for 45 days, travelling 1,586 miles by rail and
220 miles by road.
Unfortunately, none of the above officers were able to spend any appreci-
able time under canvas owing to the immense distances to be traversed.
Notice oers.
11. The greatest credit is due to Captain Walker for his energetic and
capable management of the Department. His advice has
always been of the greatest assistance. An acknowledg-
ment is also due to Mr. Woodley for his close application to his duties.

Changes in the staff.
12. Certain changes have taken place in the teaching staff. Whilst Major
Pease officiated as Inspector-General, from 5th July to 9th
November 1906, and again when Major Pease went on
furlough, from 5th March 1907, I officiated as Principal in addition to my
own appointment as Professor of Surgery. In September 1906 Captain Baldrey
was deputed to England on study leave, and on 9th October 1906, Mr. Gaiger
joined the staff of this College in place of Captain Baldrey as Professor of Sani-
tary Science.
Sessions.
The Summer Session commenced on 25th April, closing on 29th June
1906. The Winter Session commenced on 1st October 1906,
closing on 31st March 1907.
Two years' course to mili-
ary students abolished.
13. The difficulty experienced during the previous year in having to
provide instruction to military students undergoing a two
years' course, simultaneously with our three years' course
of instruction, has happily been solved by the decision that in future military
students shall undergo the same three years' course as other civilian students.

course.
14. During the year there have been three classes
undergoing instruction for the three years' course composed
as follows:—
1st year.
109
2nd year.
75
3rd year.
78

15. The number of students admitted in April 1906 was, in order to
meet the demand for passed men, increased to 118; which
number included 24 from the Indian Cavalry, 4 from the
Army Remount Department, 6 from Imperial Service Troops, 2 from Native
States. These were nominated one each by the Jhelum and Karnal Districts;
4 came from the Central Provinces, 4 from the United Provinces and 3 from the
North-West Frontier Provinces. The balance is made up of 69 civilian students
who were selected from about 240 applicants on 25th April 1906, the date fixed
for the annual admission. This class was then brought up to 124 by the addition
of six men who failed at their examination in the 1st year class. Of the total
number 13 left the College of their own accord, soon after admission, leaving 111
on the register. Just before the examination two men died of plague, and as two
men were not allowed to present themselves for the annual examination, owing
