Inspection.-Inspected by the Deputy Surgeon-General of the Rawal
Pindi Circle on the 5th December 1876. He reports that the lines consist of
parallel rows of section barracks with verandahs, but that the verandahs are
too narrow to be of much use. Doors were being put to all the huts. The
lines were clean, well wooded, and excellent drinking water was obtained from
wells close by. In the hospital, which is built on the modified standard plan
and contains four wards, Mr. Allen reports that the ventilation, light and clean-
liness, were all that could be desired. All the arrangements in hospital were
satisfactory, and the supply of medicines and instruments were sufficient and
well looked after.
